NEW GUN= NEW SCOPE- questions

[shotzee]

Hey all, so im getting my tikka varmint 7mm mag, and as such will be in the market for a scope.
price range is about 800$
id like to hunt, but as well do some target shooting.

i was looking at the precision rifle shown here

i like the mildot 3-9x i think

does anybody have any experiance with these, or have any other suggestions?

Haven't used a PR before, but I hear they're good scopes for the money. I love my LR/T. Leupold is a good place to look.

If you've got a 7mm you'll be able to reach out there a bit. And with your budget I'd go for the new Bushnell Tactical with mildot 6-24x50 and side parallax. For the price you can't beat it.

Leupold VX2 4-12x40 AO or 6-18x40AO both with the LR duplex or a VX3 in 4.5-14x40 or 6.5-20x40 with the Varmint reticle are my suggestions.

I have the VX2 4-12x40AO with LR duplex on my Sako m75SS 243-LOVE IT-got it for a great price. Rest of my newer scopes are VX3's 3.5-10x40 and a 4.5-14x40 with the Boone & Crocket reticles on my big game rifles-love them too.

I do have a used VAri-X III 6.5-20x40 waiting for a home on a rifle I'm thinking about (Tikka T3 Super Varmint or Varmint SS in 22-250 all done in Winter Realtree Hardwoods-rifle,scope, rings)

Never a problem with my Leupolds, and if I did, the warranty depot is in Okotoks, Alberta, not in the USA as Bushnell is.

I just noticed the magnification that you were looking at, then it hit me. For a little less than $800.00 US you could get the best scope ever and it'll literaly blow you away. Finished no more looking.

There's a good thread on it at Snipers Hide

Just to show you the reticle.

For the little extra go for it.
