Hello all,
I am setting up my first long range rifle, thanks in advance for the help and patience. I just got a beautiful Rem700 5R as an anniversary gift.
I want to top it with a ffp mil/mil or moa/moa with maximum magnification of at least 18x. I will also use this rifle to hunt occasionally, therefore I would like variable magnification in the ballpark of 5-20 or 6-24.
Bushnell manufacturer part #ET6245 is being discontinued as I understand it, 6-24x50 mil/mil ffp, and it appears that I can buy this online for around $700. The new model has more internal adjustment room and is around $1k.
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 ffp with zero stop, mil/mil or moa/moa, appears to be available for around $900.
Which of these would you prefer? Any other options? I'd like to keep the price under $1k, but would consider going slightly over for substantially greater product.
