you dont say what you want this for elk/deer/antelopezzez/upitty priare dawgs/or trench warfare.


a good rule of thumb on ANY rifle is 2x -4x the cost of the rifle for optics.


yeah flame me. but if ya spend bucks on yer dream rifle, plan on spending more for optics to achieve that dream with yer "wunder round" whatever it may be.


but from experience you cannot go wrong with bushnells on the low-medium end, you cant go wrong with leupold on medium end to high end.

obviously swarovski and zeiss and doktor are very spendy but the moment ya put yer eye thru them you will notice the difference.


i love my leupolds. insane good customer service, great quality and scads of reticles to choose from mil dots/ european reticles blah blah.

the bigger the far end ocular the higher you will have to mt scope off of barrel which is bad. the lower you can mount the better. example 40mm ocular will be lower than say 56mm ocular which will be higher off of barrel.


the lower the scope to the barrel THE BETTER!

simple would be pick scope/than pick rings from leupold and then pick mounts from leupold.com
