[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 211786, member: 11717"] In considering rifle and scope, I would recommend that you match the capability of one with the other. A very general rule of thumb is to spend about the same on each. But the bottom line would be to determine how far you want to shoot and what rifle as well as what scope will get you there? And do you want to just punch paper or are you going to take into the field. mountains etc, and kill game with it. These considerations should help you decide. If you buy a rifle capable of 1000 yd accuracy for $1500 and you top it with a $600 scope capable of 500 yd shooting you're not getting the most from your rifle. There are a lot of good threads here on rifles and scopes that should help. [/QUOTE]
