300 RUM Long Range Scope Recommendations

[TORCHRIDER]

I am putting together an economical Long Range (to me) rig and need a scope recommendation.

I picked up a nice Remington Sendero in .300RUM with EGW 20 degree rail and Harris bipod for under $500. I am looking for a scope in the $500 or under range to keep me under my target build cost of $1k. I will be hunting/shooting steel from about 100 yards out to 1000 yards max. Most shots on game will likely be between 100-500. Shots on steel will be out to 1k. I will be handloading bullets in the 178, 208, 220 range.

Is there a decent scope in this price range that provides good eye relief for this caliber, enough adjustment to shoot from 100-1k and provide decently bright, clear optics?

Thanks again for your expertise and guidance.

Obviously you recommend this scope. Any idea if this has the adjustments to get me from 100 to 1k?

Go on Sports Optics, Hunting Gear, Hunting Supplies and Accessories | SWFA and check out their fixed 20 power scope for $299. It is as rugged as hell and has plenty of adjustment for what you are looking to do.....Be Sure to read all the reviews gun)...................................................

Yes you'll have enough adjustment for 1000 yards with it.With a 20moa base you'll have 45 moa before sight in.
