[QUOTE="Perroe, post: 1803173, member: 112692"] Hello All, I am new here and new to hunting out west. I am looking for help on scope recommendations for the hunting I envision doing. I live in NM and mostly hunt elk and mule deer. Due to the terrain the ability to take far shots is available but I cannot see myself taking shots over 500 yds (at least for now). I have narrowed down the rifle choice to a Bergara B-14 Ridge chambered in 300 win mag. I would like to go with a vortex scope as I have their binos and I am very impressed by them. The scope I have been looking at is the Viper HS LR. I will be practicing a lot with this rig, but do not plan on ever competitively shooting. I also plan to keep this rig for the rest of my life. I usually purchase something once, get exactly what I want, and usually keep it forever. I have done some research on MOA and MRAD and BDC reticle but am still kind of confused about what would fit me the best. I am leaning towards an MOA reticle with a 4-16 power as it will give me room to grow in the future if I get into long range shooting more. Would BDC be the better choice for a beginner?
