[QUOTE="hooah09, post: 969916, member: 81658"] Hello all! I am in the process of building my first bolt action precision rifle. This will primarily be utilized on the range, but I hope to take it deer hunting maybe once a year as well. But 98% of its use will be punching paper! I have decided on the Remington 700 XCR Compact Tactical as the base rifle; .308 with a 20 inch barrel. Max range I ever anticipate shooting is 800 meters; 500 and under will be most common. What I need help with is scope selection. I have a fairly good idea of the features that I want, but I am having a very hard time finding a consolidated list/database of all the different options that meet my requirements! Okay, here it goes, these are the minimum requirement of what I am looking for: -Objective size: 50mm or smaller -Tube diameter: 30mm -Variable magnification -Max magnification: no less than 12x, no more than 18x -Front focal plane -Mil/Mil reticle/turrets -Max Price: $1500 I hope that you can share with me any positive or negative experiences you have had with any options in this range. Gents, I hope that I am able to get some good responses, and not just "use the search function" replies. I have tried, believe me, but have been unable to find a solitary resource that provides me with what I need. I hope all of you are able to! Thank you! [/QUOTE]
