[QUOTE="pburton, post: 1546168, member: 48978"] You are going to get a lot of different answers to your questions. Optics are personal preference in a lot of cases. There are many very good scopes on the market. Leupold VX5hd or VX6hd, Zeiss Conquest V6, Nightforce SHV or NXS, are just a couple that I recommend that you take a look at. The best bet is to go to a sporting goods store and look through several of the higher end scopes and pick the one that is clearest and has the features that you are looking for. I agree that some scopes seem very intimidating to someone getting into the sport. But, if you are going to shoot long range, these extra features will serve you well as you learn. Like parallax adjustment, turrets for dialing for distance and wind, a reticle that can be used for accurate holdovers or wind correction. As far as power settings, this is another area of preference. I like scopes with variable power in the 3-18 range. At the low end you can easily pick out game at short range and 18 power will easily take you to 1000 yards and further. As far as rings go, Talley is a good option. They are reasonably priced, well built, and light weight. Or you could go with a good picatinny rail and Hawkins or Nightforce rings. Welcome to LRH and have fun while you learn! [/QUOTE]
