mrmackc Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 I would ask what are you going to be shooting at, and with? If you are going to be shooting at someone that may be shooting back then I would go BIG and expensive both with the rifle,mounts and glass. Or if it is long range trophy big game. I would not spend as much for tools spend more on the trip. If it is non-competition paper punching I go kind of inexpensive, And when I was working full time keeping food in my family of four rug rats a wife and myselves bellies and a roof over our heads and in order to keep shooting. I went bargain basement and did a lot of trading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted May 23, 2017 Report Share Posted May 23, 2017 On the lower end of price; http://bushnell.com/tactical/riflescopes/elite-tactical/ers-6-24x-50mm-mil-dot Up the scale a bit on price; http://bushnell.com/tactical/riflescopes/elite-tactical/xrs-4-5-30x-50mm Both have the same no questions asked warranty as Vortex so if that 338 Lapua recoil would cause an issue you are covered.

Robocop1051 Posted May 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 So right now I'm leaning towards a Leupold Mk8 8-32x... the problem is the +$3000 price tag this is purpose built for targets of the "warm two-legged" variety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATACR 7-35x56 F1 may be a winner! maybe the B.E.A.S.T. if I drop down in magnification a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U goin' rogue on us Robo? I'm callin' BS on this. No way LE would take a shot at a perp from those distances. Not even 1000yds. Plus, at those higher magnifications your field of view is miniscule. Any movement of said perp would be near impossible to track. I think he's just tellin' the misses his new range toy is for work so she doesn't throw a fit!

Robocop1051 Posted May 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 No. I have a contract bid to a foreign (allied) military. Nothing LE here, and there are specific qualifications required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 FYI ... Optics Planet is running a Memorial Day sale of 10% off through next week. Lots of scopes appear to be featured but I think the discount is across the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
