New 30 06 rifle....what scope should i get?

[BigUglyMan]

Don't know what a miliradian or BDC. All i know is with my crossbow, if i use the recommend weight for my bolt, I'll Robin Hood my bolts using the mill dots in my scope. If it's 70 yards....my scopes 70 yard mark is 100% accurate. Same with any distance in that scope for that particular bolt. I assume things vary like that for rifle cartridges.

I won a Savage Axis 30 06 in a raffle.

The terrain would vary but i wouldn't be travelling outside of Ontario so, i guess mainly a flatter terrain.

Budget depends on the value of what's offered. I was told i wouldn't need more than a 2 to 7 30mm scope for hunting in Ontario but, what do i know?

BDC will work just like your crossbow dots. That said, for most hunting I don't think you'll need or make use of a BDC reticle. I would look for a 2.5-8x Leupold VX3 in order to get the better lens coatings.

Not hard pressed. 30-06 reticles are easy to find in the leupold and burris fullfield2 scopes.

He did stress that he wanted a "tactical" style scope though. Most of them only have BDC's for 7.62/5.56 NATO. If you're open to any style of scope, yes, .30-06 BDC reticules are easy to find.
