[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 344128, member: 319"] The most similar rifle I have is my 24" Grendel. My targets are larger than p-dogs but I also shoot it farther so scale-wise I think scope choice is similar. My thoughts are you really aren't going to be carrying such a rifle through the woods and don't even think about home defense with a heavy 24" so any scope that goes down to around 6X on the low end is low enough. But since you will be shooting little things far away I enjoy magnification for that. So I'd say go for the 6.5-20. Though in agreeing with the above, Leupold wouldn't be my first choice. I just don't think you get enough value for what they cost. If you're OK with a SFP reticle and 1/4 MOA clicks you can get a good one for a lot less. My Grendel is currently wearing a 6.5-20X50 Vortex Viper (while waiting for the PST) and I can't think of anything I like better about the Leupold LR's and they cost a bunch more. Stepping up in quality a scope like the Sightron SIII 6-24X50 I think offers better quality for less. Anyway, as mentioned above I'm waiting for the Vortex PST 6-24X50 for this rifle, which should be a nice step up from my current Viper. It'll give you turrets that match the reticle, FFP if you want, illumination for nighttime 'yotes, etc. That's my idea of a good match for such a rifle for a decent price. [/QUOTE]
