This is an SPS 20" barreled 243 I've put into a Bansner stock. I want to shoot it to 800 yds and it will mainly be a coyote rig. I want to scope it for no more than $650 ish and I want an elevation turret that is absolutely repeatable and would like a ranging reticle of some sort as well. 30mm or 1" but am leaning towards 30mm as I don't want to be putting on an MOA type rail. Low Talley LW's are what I want to use. What scope do you recommend? I can't decide.

 
I'd put a Vortex Viper 4-16x44 Long Range on it. I have one on my 223 (50mm though) - it works awesome (and I'm a Leupold fan). $650-700 and you can add a custom yardage turret to replace the 1/2moa if you want. I'm looking at a custom 700 in 6x47 and will top it with that scope.
 
Zeiss Conquest with Rapid Z reticle , 600, 800 or varmint.

4.5-14 would be perfect magnification.

Check your load velocity and go to the Zeiss website to get your calibration.No turret turning needed.Most simple and accurate reticle available for this task.
 
Falcon menace. Frontier firearms is a stocking dealer.

Great reviews on line, repeatable turrets, moa reticle and moa dials or mrad reticle and mrad dials.....

Best bang for your buck in affordability and features under 1K IMHO. If your budget was just over 1K a sighttron from mystic precision would get my vote....

My $.02
 
Because of US ITAR export controls you'll want to find a Canadian retailer who has a corresponding mfgr warranty depot in Canada.

Leupold and the Nikon Monarch product families (among others) meet that criteria.

Without a 20MOA rail for elevation offset, you are pretty well forced to go with a 30mm tube product. That plus
the requisite magnification and target knobs probably will exceed your scope budget.

I use 20MOA rails with my long range rifles, that permit me to use 1 inch tubes and still get sufficient elevation for 800 meters starting from a 100 meter zero.

If you had a 20MOA rail the Monarch 4-16x50 Side Focus Matte BDC would do the trick, it comes with user-installable target knobs.

I would also choose the vortex hs lr.

On a side note, what bullet are you going to shoot to 800 yards with a 9 1/8 twist?
 
95 Berger needs a 1-9 twist so you might be ok but as far as I know the 105 amax doesn't work. Didn't in my 243 sps anyways.
 
I think you have a defective gun.
It appears the bolt is installed on the wrong side , therefore I decline to be of little help ;)
You might be in search of a NEAR base for your Remington action and a set of Rings by Leupold.
How about a 3-9 or 3.5-10 x 40mm Leupold Scope, maybe the VariXIII type with a fine reticle or fine duplex.
Don forget to get some trigger time in before the Coyote season starts too.
Keep us posted on your choices and results , even if it is just some paper targets at the 800 yrd mark before the Coyotes fall.
Tight Groups,
Rob
