All of my current rifles are short to intermediate range and are fitted with red dots. I know very little about scopes. I've been wanting something that can reach out and touch so I have a Savage American Classic Blued model 114 in 30-06 on the way. My understanding is that most scopes nowadays are shorter and I may have to get a particular base and ring for those or just a longer scope. Please correct me if I'm wrong. My budget on this is around $200-$300. Going low in case I want to try out a couple of different ones. I can always put it on one of the other rifles. Once I'm settled on what I like after some use I will probably be looking to upgrade to $700-$1,000 I just don't want to drop that much on something I don't have any experience with.
I will likely target shoot at 100 alot with the occasional trip out to do some much longer shots and the annual hunt. So maybe a 3-9x40, a 4-12x44, or other. Mildot or BDC, or other. I'm open and would appreciate some insight. Please advise type of base and scope you'd recommend.
