OK,
I have tried to search the old post for an answer to the age old story which scope is best for me. I need a good scope ($150.00 max) for shooting targets at mostly 100 - 300 yards, But I want to try to shoot the 1000 yrd one day. If I need to spend more then $150 then I guess I will not shoot the gun anymore. I am hand loading and my 30-30 loads hit almost alway at 100 yrds in 2" - 3" groups using a 4x scope. my hand loads for the 30-06 where doing 2" @ 100 yrd till my scope went south this weekend. I have a 3-9 x 32 for my 22lr and I can hold 2" - 3" at 100 yrds. My shooting is ok for me. But I want to try my hand at the 200 - 300 yrd targets, working my way up too the long stuff. I need some advise I have seen alot of $100 scopes of every power out there. I am thinking 24x or 32x variable, so I can shoot game as well.
Any advise for the poor boy scope that can do the job?
David
