I am thinking about building a Remington 700 in 7mm rem mag with a thumbhole stock and.....zilch ideas for optics
what's a good rifle scope that you'd trust out to 600 yards and beyond for less than $900(I'm on a budget)
 
Re: hunting scopes, any suggestions?

I run a older Leupy VX-III 4.5x14X40 with the Boone/Crockett recticle on a Remington XCR in 7mm. Rock solid optics. Only wish I had purchased the one with the illuminated recticle. Taken elk at 175 and 240 yards, and would not hesitate to reach out to 500 yards with it.
 
Re: hunting scopes, any suggestions?

I've been using a burris fullfield 2 4-14x42 with the ballistic plex. I've tried not to like it but it just does the job. A similar vx3 would run about 400 bucks more...
 
Re: hunting scopes, any suggestions?

more information is needed. what is your short and long range? do you want a hunting style scope or more of a tactical scope? do you want to adjust using turrets or reticle hold overs"?
