Rifle Scopes ? From a new long range shooter

[Tpeart124]

Ok I am new to long range shooting and absolutely love it. I currently run a mossberg night train atr 100 chamberd in 308 with 6x24x50 super swat barska scope. I have only gone out around 600 yrds, I'm trying to focus on fundamentals rather than distance. Most of the time I just shoot between 100-300 yrds. This set up is perfect for me as a beginner. But it does limit me in a lot of ways. I am picking up the ruger rpr 6.5 creedmore and mounting the vortex pst 6x24x50 w/ moa adjustments. The ruger rpr has a 20 moa picatinny rail. Will I have enough moa to get to 1000 yrds And further ? I'm sorry if this is a dumb? Please be patient with me as I am new and absolutely obesesed with long range shooting. Also if any body has tips and suggestions I am all ears. Thank you.

Yes you will have enough adjustment.

I ran a 6X24 FFP PST in Mils with a 20 Moa rail and had no problem at 1k.

Any suggestions on what kind of scope rings I should get?

precision matched vortex rings are nice

Read everything from the above sticky, most of your long range questions will be answered.

As for gear selection, buying the best you can afford is always advised. If you let people know your budget, they can give you options that will work.

I have the Burris XTR rings on multiple rifles. They are a good price and have been good rings for me.

Seekins rings are great, as are Vortex rings (which Seekins makes).

Being unsure what your budget is, I would give another vote to the Vortex rings.

 

[Kadams1563]

Vortex PMR's or the Seekins Precision (they are the same just a little bit different heights).

These will most likely be all I ever run. They just plain work and don't break the bank.

Thanks guys I do appreciate it

Keep in mind you'll need AR height rings for the 50mm objective to clear the handguard

TPS TSR rings are an excellent choice for the money.

If you go with rings similar to the Burris XTR, be ready for sone heavy lapping. Ive had a few sets starting out and it took a lot of work to get them alligned.

I use Burris Signature on all of my rifles. If you want, you can use the inserts to gain even more MOA.

Seekins, Vortex and Burris XTR is what I have in my rifles, the first two are better but the Burris are not far behind.

ARC M10 rings are my favorite, but not sure they would work for your application.. I would think the extra highs would work.. These rings are very well designed, but the seekins/vortex rings are good ones as well..

Regardless of your budget, Seekins / Vortex rings are a great choice , you can usually pick up a pair in the PX for a very fair price.

You might want to rethink the MOA reticle and adjustments on your scope. Most long range shooters use MIL reticles and adjustments and if you're shooting with someone else you most likely won't have to worry about converting between MIL and MOA.

 

[SRPowah]

What ^he said. If you are still learning, it won't be hard converting from MOA to MIL. I recommend the switch so you have an easier time talking with other shooters and spotters when you really start to stretch your range.
