Just ordered my first long range rifle today. Bergara b14 wilderness hmr in 6.5 creedmore. I’m new to super long range shooting. Farthest I’ve shot my 25-06 at a target is 400 once. Hurricane Laura earned me a lot of overtime so now is the time to splurge. I need glass to top my new rifle. I thought I wanted a vortex viper pst gen 2. But I can get a gen 1 for $350 less. For a new guy this should be sufficient right? I think I want 6-24x50 but have been told I don’t need more that 16 power. In my mind more is better but like I said I’m new. I have access to a range of 820 yards close by but can get longer if I travel a little. Any advice is welcome and I’m looking forward to getting to know more about long range shooting
