[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 282176, member: 2736"] I would look at scopes in the 6.5x20x50 or 56 range. The eye relief (position of the head to the ocular lense) becomes very critical in hunting conditions if you go much more than that. If you plan on shooting prone all the time then you can go with more power. I prefer the 4.5x14x 50s for all around use and 14x is plenty of power for 1200yrds even for my old eyes. and I recomend 30mm tubes with side focus.( Bigger glass,Better light ). Leupold makes good scopes in this price range as do others so you can start there and compare features and then decide whitch Brand you want. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
