the things im really looking for is a scope with max power at like 9x-10x, mil dot, and good glass... the good glass being key. i have real issues with my vision feeling fuzzy because the glass isnt clear enough. the mil dot is second most important, i have a friend that wants to teach me how to use one and he swears that it will be a skill i enjoy having. i have a budget of 500 to 650 for a scope already, so im not looking to save money, im looking to get the most i can for that price. im welcome to any suggestions, i dont have alot of knowledge when it comes to good scopes because i was never shooting past 100 yards. i feel its time to challenge my self, i want to move into a 6mm like round to go out to 800 yards at some point. baby steps, .308 is cheap enough for me to learn on and then in the future move on.
