Hey all
I'm investing in my first rifle and, because I'm not going to be able to buy another one anytime soon, I want it to serve a couple purposes for a few years while I develop my skills. First and foremost, the scope needs to be well suited to hunting. Light and clear. Secondly, I want it to be capable of serving me well at the range. That way I can develop confidence in long-range shots at game, as well as having a sport I can push myself at.
The rifle it will be on top of will be a 26" R700 5R in 300winmag. My budget is approximately 800 dollars for the scope. Cheaper but equal value is even better.
Any suggestions, as well as reasoning for those suggestions, wold be awesome. Thanks much in advance!
