Hey all,
I Tried to search for this to see if it had already been talked about but to no avail so youl have to forgive me if this is obvious or has already been talked about.
Anyways iv doing lots of research and looking around iv decided i want to buy a US Optics scope to learn the dynamics of Long Range Shooting I have a goal of one day making a 1 mile shot and know how to do it. ( not just sitting behind someones rifle who has it all set up and pull the trigger this does not count)
So i decided that i like MOA more then Mils it just makes more sense to me but feel capable of learning both so in your guys honest opinions should i just buy mil/mil cause that is what most people use? or go with what i feel makes more sense to me in MOA/MOA?
Also the gun i decided to start with is a Remington 700 SPS AAC SD 308.
I plan on buying a JAE-700 chassis i like the way it looks and seems to have a very nice build quality altho i have not held one so this could change.
I live in CA so id like to give them a call when i get home (currently out of town because of work) and hopefully go down and put my hands on one.
but as to the point of all this at the risk of soundly very noobish in the USO configuration you have the options of getting an extended eye relief eye piece housing. I cant find anywhere that talks about the advantages of having this and if it is worth the extra $200+ dollars.
so if anyone has any in site they could provide I would appreciate it.
also My scope choice is between the SN-3 3.2-17x44 or the SN-3 5-25x58 would the 5-25 be to large for my gun?
also i realize i wont really be able to make the mile shot with the 308 but i feel it would be a good starting block to build my knowledge due to Barrel life and ammo costs.
Also would hope to be able to take the gun hunting every once in awhile is possible or would the gun be to heavy?
Thanks all for your time and for being such a great resource really enjoy the website and community.
Edited for a misplaced word.
