I need a scope for an upcoming 6.5 SAUM build. This gun is built with intentions of being a light, handy packing rifle. Rifle should finish somewhere in the 7#'ish range sans optics.
I have a budget of NO MORE than $2,000 to spend on a scope for this rifle.
Must haves are:
- FFP
- 18x or higher magnification
- MIL/MIL illuminated reticle
- Solid positive turrets, locking elevation would be a plus.
- 25oz or less preferred.
What is the best scope I can get for my stated budget with the options above? Again $2000 is my MAX budget.
