[QUOTE="Joaquin B, post: 472832, member: 20152"] I had the same concerns you had when selecting hunting/target rifles. This is what I ended up doing: For my .260 hunting/silhouette Tikka 595, I went with a Leupold Mark IV 4.5-14X by 40mm. I paid for it new around $700.00 through Bruno's Shooters Supply of Phoenix. I then got a Bulzeye multiplier for another $140. This little adapter screws to the ocular lens and bumps the maginifcation to what I perceive to be 8-25X. This scope/adapter combination gives me the versatility I desire for both hunting and silhouette shooting. The scope base on the rifle is an EGW 20 MOA Picatinny rail and the rings are Leupold QRW. For my long-range Winchester M-70 in .30-06 and .25-06 Ackley Improved, I went with a Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20X by 50 mm, after doing some reading (There is a good article on scopes in AccurateShooter.com). I paid around $900.00 for it new shopping the internet. The clarity of the glass is superb, the elevation and windage adjustments are precise and the price was right. The mount on the rifle is a Leupold 20 MOA Picatinny rail and the rings are Leupold QRW. No scope system is perfect for every situation, but these 2 scope systems best serve my hunting and target shooting needs. Regards, [/QUOTE]
