[QUOTE="Snowbird, post: 1039083, member: 87588"] I'm looking to top my braked 300 weatherby mk-V with some new glass for western hunting out to 600 or so yards and target out to 1000yds. I have a few things I'd like in the scope and some that would be nice to have. Budget is a concern so used is an option. I'd like to keep the cost below $800 but closer to $500 if possible. I realize many of the scopes that would fit the bill are right around $1000 so, if i can find a good deal on those i'll spend a little more. I'm just getting into long range so i'm open to both the idea of moa or mrad but i do shoot artillery on the milliradian system so it may be easier to stick with that. Musts: quality glass (it's all relative but the best glass in price range) exposed elevation turret w/ well defined clicks & measurements scribed 30mm tube good eye relief & exit pupil nice to have: 4-16 variable or close to it (+/-) -- most shots 200-600yds 40-50mm objective retical to match the turret parallax adjustment zero stop I've been looking at Vortex Vipers, Sightron, Nikon, bushnell, etc but i'm really starting to get lost in the mix of things. Any experience with a quality scope that fits the bill would be appreciated. Thanks [/QUOTE]
