New scope for my 6.5x55

[704]

I have recently purchased a The Pride-Fowler RR800-1 "Rapid Reticle scope with the PFI ballistic reticle with windage marks out to 10 mph. advantage is it has a FFP reticle with 800M reticle and 30mm tube, they make one in 600 as well, I ordered mine from Midway usa for 629.00,.

Now I am traditionally a turret guy, I have hunted with the Shepherd scope with great success, I am going to be interested in the out come of this scope.

here is info on the Reticle ballistics match

to my eyes they are almost Identical, good glass for the price.

How is this scope working out for you? I am working on purchasing a Rem 700 Milspec 5R in .308 and have been trying to decide what scope to put on it that won't break the "already broken" bank. I like what I'm reading here on the forum about Sightron's 6-24x50 with the MOA-2 reticle but I like the simplicity of the Pride Fowler RR-800-2 (10x42mm). Could you shed some light on which of these might better fit my bill? Can you use this reticle to also "Range" game in addition to holdover? Your thoughts???
