[QUOTE="breakshntr, post: 1258768, member: 93027"] First things first what are you looking to do with the gun? I know take a deer but more so in what type of country. If your looking for a scope to take deer out to say 450 and still have a close quarters gun, I would look to get a 3-12x42 type scope. Most all the companies make some sort of a drop compensated reticle. Vortex, Nikon and Burris all make a nice budget minded scope for everyday hunting that will get you years of good service. Pick up a mid-range range finder good to 800yrds and you should be set. I feel any animal (deer) beyond 250 yards should have a range put on him to make sure the proper shot placement can be achieved on the first shot (predators are different). The more you shoot at game the higher comfort level becomes, shots beyond 300 can be taken without a range but not with lots of practice. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
