Hey everybody. So I finally built my 7mag a few months ago.. Off a rem. 700 action. Shoots better than I thought it would. With federal premium 150 ballistic tips at 100 yds the group can be covered with the butt of a 30-06 casin. Last time I shot it was at 500yds and I got a 3in group with a 10mph crosswind. Needless to say I was happy to find that out. But now its time to put glass on it. Right now it was a 6x pine ridge from cabelas that I've had for several years. Works great and is a good scope but things look pretty small at 500 plus yds so its time to upgrade.
I'm a college student so I don't have $1200 to drop on a leupold mark 4, wish I could but I'm on a budget. I want to limit myself to about $400 or so. I believe a person don't need to spend 2 grand to get a decent scope.
I've been online and lookin around. The ones that have peaked my interest are the konus M30 and the leatherwood hi-lux tactical. They read good and look good but there's a slight problem. I haven't seen one in person. Been to the local shops and what not lookin for one but haven't found one to look at yet. And I have a problem spendin money on somethin like that that I haven't had in hand to look at before. Which is where the great members of LRH come in. So if anyone out there has had them in hand or used them I'd appreciate the info. Or if anybody has some ideas on other scopes in the price range feel free to enlighten me. Thanks -Caleb
