NEED HELP / BUYING NEW SCOPE

[NDNmojoman]

Ok fellow shooters. The boss (Wife) gave me the go ahead to buy a new scope for me Bergara BMP 6.5 Creedmoor. Price range up to around 1,500. I know this is a loaded question but, what scope should I go with? Been looking at the Vortex Viper, Leupold, Nightforce range however, haven't been around the long range scene long enough to know what is best at this price range. Im smart enough to ask questions from you all who have the experience. I will probably only get to do this one time so all Help is appreciated. Will more than likely be maxed out around 1K yrds but would like to work at that Mile shot eventually. What are the current match shooters using? Think I want a 1st focal plain at least 30mm tube and 50mm Obj. I have seen some Labor day sales still running so looking to buy fairly quick. What so you all think?
Thanks,

Toss it in a set of these rings (low height)...

I have the Bergara 6.5 creedmoor in the Hunter. I bought a 3-15x56 VX5HD to put on it. Lightweight, 38 MOA adjustment, zero lock. It was on the Bergara for one day, shot it, and immediately pulled it off, and put it on my go to hunting rifle to replace my vortex viper 6-24, glass was far superior in my Opinion and I liked the eye relief better. It might get you out to 1200 yards wit with dialing, but you could get the TMOA reticle and then you could stretch it out to a mile. The gun you bought isn't a hunting rifle but for the cost, I think I paid $850 for my Scope, I was very happy with it.

I would look for a used Vortex gen I Razor.

If that doesn't work look into a Burris XTR II

I really like my leupold lrp 6.5-20. Around 1k$ they all get quite comparable. The only vortex scopes I've looked through and liked the glass on were razors. Burris veracity and xtr2 are good options, sightron s3, leupold lrp, Zeiss v4. Bushnell dmr 2. Get one with a mil or Moa reticle, not a ballistic reticle

Something in the Zeiss V6 or Leupold VX6 lineup for that rifle.

I was going to recommend the Zeiss V6 5-30x50, but it was a bit higher than his budget at around $1,899 MSRP.

I was just looking at this myself. I have the MOA version and LOVE it. Been contemplating a MIL scope and this is a great package...

I would take a hard look at the SWFA 5-20 HD. It is one hell of a scope for the money. Best eyebox and eye relief I've ever found on a scope, for my eyes at least. Excellent glass and turrets. Only downside is no zero stop, but at 10 mils per rotation, you wont be dialing past 1 rotation a lot. I'd buy the noon-lluminated model myself. I like it much better than the Nightforce HSVs, VX 5 HD or the V4 Zeiss.

You can find some deals right now where it would be within his budget. For example, a company out of Colorado, however you have to call and do a little negotiationg...I did.

Leica Magnus !

I have the 4-14 and really like it. Only thing I wish I would have went with was the lighted reticle.

This, with moar reticle and lighted.

Edit: I will suggest that you go somewhere that you can look through anything you might want to get. Let your eyes tell you which looks better!

If you are looking to shoot out to a mile eventually the Delta Stryker HD 4.5-30x56mm FFP gives you big bang for you buck. Comparable to the Nightforce 5-25x56mm F1 but $1250 less. LOW in Japan makes both scopes. Only draw back is the 10 year warranty is only honoured in Poland at present. Build quality is tier one and tracking is excellent.

If you are interested, these guys sell them in Canada. Prices are in CAD so if you do the math you can buy it for about $1750 USD.... a little more than your budget but big, big bang for your buck.
