Rifle Scopes Please help with scope selection

[TxShooter7oo]

I want to scope a Remington 700 bdl 30-06
Budget 500$
For hunting deer, hogs, and occasional other game
shooting out to ~500 but 90% under 200yd
Shooting hand loads
Prefer a variable power, not too busy

I don't know much about scopes, so I hope to learn from the knowledgable....

Read the Scope Selection Sticky several tomes and you'll find your answer. DO YOUR RESEARCH, then may need the start a Thread asking about appropriate ring height and best Brands for your needs. It isn't always easy, but the research is very enlightening on many levels.

Vortex or SWFA Find a used one to save some coin.

BDL looks and works great with a Luepold VX3 or VXR. They both have options for an external elevation turret and the vxr has an illuminated center dot for the fast moving pigs. A VX6 would be great but about twice your budget.

I am really liking Vortex right now.

Good features list, good price, SUPERB warranty, good product.

Yep this^^^ as I've heard several folks are using the firedot for hunting hogs and such.

Vortex HST would be a very good choice. Leupold and the Zeiss would be a good way to go.

If we can be of help let me know.
