Rifle Scopes Choose my glass

[jerrad]

Guys,
I have about $500 to spend on a scope and rings. The longest shot I plan on making is 1000 yards. I've narrowed it down to the Falcon, SS, or vortex scopes. Which would you choose and what power would you pick.
Thanks
Jerrad

take that 500 bucks, put it in an investment and build it to 2000, then get a Night Force and a good set of Rings

Only 1000 yds? Man you need to step it up

Go with the falcon 5-25x50 with which ever reticle floats your boat. Then get some burris extreme tactical rings off of here or egay for about $30 and order an EGW 20moa base for $40. That will put you about $50 over budget. If thats too costly theres always the Millett LRS-1 that comes with rings.

Just out of curiosity what is this scope gonna go on?

That would take 10 years with my wife tracking the funds. lol

I already have a 20moa base, rings and scope are all that's needed now.

It's going on a savage 10 fcp with a hs precision stock.

I think you need to open an Individual Fun Account (IFA) with online only statement... smile

Make sure that you have a rogue email address with that online statement.

Stick a couple hundred more with it and go with a Zeiss 4.5-14x44 and get a ballistic knob from Kenton Industries for another $80. This is the one that I run on my HS Precision .300wsm. Let me know if you need a hookup.
