[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 755343, member: 4809"] My own personal experience with Rem SPS models is that some will shoot sub MOA, but most will not. My first priority would be to see what groups the rifle will hold. Even good glass won't help much if 600 yd. yotes is your goal, but the rifle will only shoot 1.5" @ 100 yds. Next: You can't hit it if you can't see it. Assuming the rifle is a shooter, you will need glass. $1000 will get the job done, but you don't mention whether or not you have a decent range finder. If you need both a scope and a quality rangefinder, then things get tricky. You would do best to focus on used glass. For a rangefinder that will consistently range out to 600 - 800 yds. on small targets like yotes, the choices are few. Look for a used Leica 1200 model. For scopes: a used Bushnell Elite or Leupold VX-3. You may have trouble staying within budget if both are needed. [/QUOTE]
