So I'm looking for a precision, tactical turret, scope for 1000yd/m shooting (I know that 1000yd does not = 1000m, but I'm not ruling mrad scopes out, so just keeping my options open). I recently purchased an MVP LC from my buddy, but he didn't have the scope package Vortex 4-16x44 on it that I was hoping for. So I just figured I'd sell the scope he had on it (a pretty good diamondback) and save up for the Vortex HST 4-16x44. After thinking more on it, I'm not really beholden to this scope, but I was curious if anyone had any other opinions?
Again, this is for a 308, 1000yd/m rifle, budget under $1000. My biggest question is: is 16x enough magnification for 1000yd/m shooting? I am leaning towards mrad. I definitely want movable/tactical/sealed turrets. I will probably never be hunting with this gun as I have another 308 for that. I don't care about illumination. Not too worried about weight either. I also am not beholden to a variable, but figured that a variable would be useful for close in shots vs. a full 1000yd/m. I liked the Vortex for it's $550ish price tag while having great reviews and backed by a great warranty.
