[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1016418, member: 2736"] There are many good scopes for long range hunting and using the G7 Br2 range finder. Start with the power = 4x to 8x on the lower end, and 14x to 25x on the high end. I would also recommend a 30mm tube (More adjustment range) and a minimum of a 50mm objective lens. Look at different scopes and decide which lens look the best to your eyes (Use the same power setting on each for the best comparison). I also recommend 1/4 MOA turrets with positive detents and the ability to zero the turret after a zero is established. Custom turrets are faster if they are marked in MOA and you don't have to count the clicks. If you can, test the scopes tracking accuracy. (A simple way to do this is to clamp the scope in a soft jawed vice/gun rest and point it at a spot 2 or 300 yards and without disturbing the zero/scope move the turrets left, up ,right, down the same number of clicks each time and see if it ends up in the exact same place. Eye relief is also important also because normally you will be shooting from the prone position which places your eye closer to the scope and generous eye relief is recommended (3 1/2 to 4" Minimum) The brand of scope one uses is a personal thing based on likes and dislikes so the choice is yours. because there will be many recommendations and you will have to decide what's best for you. I like caps to cover the turrets when walking for protection of my zero. Hope this helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
