So, after several "heavy barrel" builds I am having a 280AI built with a barrel that will be .750 at the muzzle. The rifle will wear a scope with a max magnification of 14-16 power. I would like a scope that can handle the "real" world of hunting out West. Horseback use and lots of walking environment. I need a scope that will handle the "bumps" of hunting. Thanks for any suggestions. I am looking at $700-$1000.
