choosing scope for rifle

[satrap]

hi guys
i have a Remington 750 and i want to buy a scope for it, for hunting and target practice (budget around 400$)

Look at 3-9x40mm models from Leupold, Redfield, Bushnell (Elite lines), Weaver.

Have a look at the Millet TRS 4-16x50.

FXII 4x, then match your targets to the magnification, and you'll be fine. If you want a variable VX2 2-7.

I own Nikon, Leupold and bushnell in that price range.

Go with a Leupold vx2 3-9. You wont be disappointed. I found one on the EE for a great deal.

I'm new to this so correct me if I'm wrong but from few video that I saw the scope that you guys listed are second focal point wouldn't that make some problems when you want to adjust the scope to hit the target since if you are not using the full power zooming the mil-dot will change ( 1 mill dot is now 2 )

If you're just wanting to hunt and a bit of target shooting a second focal plane reticle is fine. That's what most scopes are. If you are thinking first focal plane reticle. The only advantage is when using your reticle for a range finder, especially at multiple targets at different distances. FFP scopes usually start around $1000 for a decent brand. Just my opinion.

Hunting covers a lot of ground, and so does target shooting. For $400 I'd look at a VX-2 3-9 with a LR reticle.
