so im a long time reader and a first time poster here.
so i just bought a R 700 sps dm 30-06 and i am looking into now what kind of scope i should get for this beauty. im not used to having a rifle that is quite this high end so i dont want to put a crappy scope on it but i am not made of money here.
a few years ago i sporterized a mosin and got a scope from combathunting.com the site has great prices but im not sure about the quality of some of there stuff the one i got for the mosin (3-12x) has worked for me even though its not as accurate as id like it to be at 100 yards. may be due to the fact that im shooting military surplus ammo on a 60 year old weapon. regardless i do alot of shooting at 100 yards but im looking for this rifle to shoot a good group at 200+ yards and im also going to do some hunting with this rifle. what is a good magnification for this rifle. id like to keep the price of the scope under 200 dollars is this possible whats the best i could do for this price. anything, advice or suggestions at all would be incredibly helpful. please.
