I have one of those and love it. Great clarity, great reticle, and inexpensive.

I don't have any experience with Bushnell, but I've been hearing good things more and more so I'll defer to the other SH members. If you're going to Promotive or similar, the money you save could be put towards an upgrade to a Nightforce or whatever, and you could sell the one you've got, just a thought. Anyway, I would go with a variable over the fixed, it's just more versatile and they're very reliable now a days. Also, if you're looking to shoot out a 1000yds, I would go more than 10X, but that's me, my eyes aint the greatest, I would go with a variable that went up to 20X. Lastly, look at all the reticles available, the standard mil-dot is fine, but there's some other good ones too, they're making them more and more user-friendly.

I really like using horus reticles. Used it on the xm2010.

Yeah, horus is cool, usually a bit more pricey with that reticle, but get what you want. You'll have to decide on what scope mounting system you want also, one/two piece, aluminum/steel, etc...a lot of good systems out there.

I am active duty army as an 11b. I have attended sniper school as part of a mtt in Germany. Now on to the question my grandfather passed last Christmas and left me a Winchester model 70 " ranger" in 30 06. I am trying to make a budget 1000 yard gun. I have a Nikon pro staff 3-9x40 that my wife got for me. I'm going to start reloading and need some advice. I have free floated the barrel and waiting to glass bed it when I get to ft Carson. What would yall recommend to make this rifle better? Also anyone know good gunsmiths in the Colorado springs area as wel as a good range. Thanks for your help </div></div>

I would leave my grandfather's rifle as he left it to me; respecting it for the heirloom that it is. I would pick up a 700 SPS Tac/Varmint and start there.
