Hey guys,im building a Remington 700 SPS in 30-06,nothing special just a decent rifle to use.the rifle has a 24 inch barrel,ive got a bi pod and detachable magazine assembly to install.I cannot decide on a scope brand or type.
Budget for the scope is $300 maybe $400 max.Ive done a heap of research and narrowed the list to the following.
- 2.5 -10 x40
-3 - 9 x 40
- 4 - 12x 40
- LEUPOLD- VX1
- REDFIELD- BATTLEZONE / REVENGE / REVOLUTION
- BURRIS FULLFIELD- E1
- BUSHNELL ELITE
- NIKON PROSTAFF
Im thinking 3-9 x40 ( most popular by far) and probably LEUPOLD VX1 SERIES.
What maximum realistic achievable ranges are possible with this calibre,scope and factory ammo and a average shooter.
This rifle will be used mainly for longer shots on pigs,goats and all ferals
Any input would be great
cheers
