I'm trying to put together my first precision rifle together, Started with my remington 700 sps which I have read is a great starting platform for the budget minded, which I am but I would like to finish it with a good optic, ive done a little checking around my choices are:

Burris 4-16x50 Black Diamond 30mm
Leupold 4.5-14x40 VX-3
Falcon Menace 4-14x44 FFP
Super Sniper 10x42
Nikon 4-16x42 Monarch w/bdc

I just want to do it right, and not have to replace it in a year, if you have any suggestions by all means let me know but keep it under 1k, the cheapest I found MARK 4 4.5-14X 50mm LR/T was for 1100 is this a good price, and are these great scopes as well ,if I wanted to push my limited budget a little more, well thanks in advance.

Best bang for the buck if you're only killing paper and steel would be the rear focus Super Sniper 10x, IMHO.

No need for a FFP reticle on a fixed power

I have a 10x SS on my Anschutz .22 "trainer" and it is excellent.

But only you can say what is a good scope for YOU. And in all reality, you will probably be buying another scope before long regardless of what you buy now - if you catch the sickness

If the rifle doubles as a hunting rifle, a variable that has an option for lower power (2-4x) might be a better choice. If you plan on shooting F-Class or over 600yd often, you probably want to spend more on better glass and more magnification.

YMMV.

How about the Vortex Viper 6.5-20X50 Mil Dot. It's a damn good, rock solid scope for 500 bucks or a little less! I can't comment on the Falcon 5-25 but I had a Falcon 4.5-18 and it was okay but it wasn't even in the same ballpark as the Vortex!
