I'll start by saying that I've been deer hunting on a borrowed rifle from my father-in-law and am now hooked.
I am purchasing a Winchester Model 70 30-06 and would like recommendations on a scope.
I would like feedback on what scope to buy that would be a good all-around scope for shots of less than 200 yards. I am hunting in the upper midwest in an area where there is heavy forest separated by fields, so there are some openings where I may need to shoot out further. The buck I got there last weekend was at about 175 yards.
I readily admit I know little to nothing about scope selection, thus the post. Budget could go as high as 600 dollars if necessary but am looking more for 400 dollar range.
