I decided to buy a rifle to get my feet wet in longer range shooting. I decided on a Model 700 AAC-SD and put a 6-9 harris bipod on it. I didn't want to spend the money on buying another scope at this time so I took a Leupold 3-9 x40 off my winchester and put it on this... The thing is - I couldn't get my base and rings off the winchester so I just went to Walmart on the way to the range and put some cheap ones on for the day.
My question is - should I go ahead and buy a nice rail until I decided to buy a nice mil dot scope in the future? I hate to leave a cheap mount and rings on it, but at the same time I don't want to have to re-buy the same thing twice?
Larue tactical has a rail for around $75 but I am not sure what version to get? They have short and long action, and 20 MOA and normal.
Any recommendations for what I should buy in my current situation until I upgrade to a nice mil dot scope? I really like this Leupold that goes to 14x... It was around $1000 I believe.
Thanks in advance!
