[QUOTE="ntg, post: 790023, member: 32568"] Hello. First, I'm mostly a lurker on here. Mostly because you're in a different league than me, and I mean that in skill and in expendable funds (single income home raising 5 kids). However, I read a lot on LRH and I hold my opinion very high of your advice and knowledge. So I ask for advice. I’ve got an old Rem721 (grandpas) and it’s fine for what it is. The stock has a growing crack on it and I’m going to need another rifle for one of my boys in just a few years anyway. So I’ve picked a rifle that I think will do, but want your take on a few scopes. Before getting to the scopes, my whole intent with this rig is to be able to use it for hunting (and I’m usually making my kills at 2-400 yards) but to also be able to play (target shoot) in the 5-800 range. I’ve chosen the bdc type reticles thinking I’ll not mess with the turrets in the field, but probably adjust when target shooting. Here are the four on my list and with the list I also ask is a 3-9x40 good enough to do what I’m thinking? What do you think would be best with what I've explained in my intent for this rifle. Thanks in advance. Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 and the 4.5X-14X-42mm with adjustable parallax (This being the most costly of the four) Refield Revolution 3-9x40 and the 4-12x40mm [/QUOTE]
