Good 300 yard Scope for Rem 700 22-250

[dee]

I will always use Leupold! Just got a 4.5-14x50 VX III leupold and it's the only scope I've had that will hold zero on my AR10.

I used to be that way but now-a-days Leupolds are over priced for what you get. Short of a good warranty, their glass is not on par with the cheaper scopes and their QC in consistency is not great as well. You can pick up a Vortex, Bushnell Elite series or Nikon for cheaper and get glass that's just as good or better.

might you be referring to 3 Mils Right?

I thought 3 Mils Right only did classes and tac style comps? Are they open to the pubic or a private membership for use?

If you find a scope you like with a 1" tube, there's always this option.

Tried all those except the vortex. None would hold zero.

There's no reason they shouldn't hold zero on an AR of any type.Were quality rings used?

Shoots several. I think that's one of his. Also shoots lapua (sp) which I think is his main shooter. Blind in one eye.

Lol he drives a bright green pickup he calls the
Pickle

Yeah I'm pretty sure I've seen him out there before.

Leupold rings.

Leupold rings.

Huh, seems kinda odd that you would have 2 pretty decent scopes with the same problem, guess it's possible though.

That was the scope I sold for the vortex. Decent piece of glass, has some CA on the top end but overall it was decent. I needed better adjustments and internal distance. But for hunting it's great.

One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. We usually team up each year on a dove lease somewhere. He's pretty damn good at knocking down birds too.

I went from BSA (haha) to a Nikon to two different bushnell buckmaster to bushnell elite to leupold rifleman to leupold vxIII.

I don't do any real long range shooting. I could make 400-500 yards shots pretty easy with my 3-9x50 so I think the 4.5-14x50 will be pretty good. Also with the other 40 objective scopes, I would get horrible sunset glare/rings.. The 50 objectives don't get them. I tried buying sub 300 dollar glass for a 1500 dollar rifle and I know now that doesnt work lol..

The objective lens diameter doesn't make a scope glare or not its more about coatings on the glass, now it does have some affect on how a scope gathers light.

As dee stated the larger the final objective the more light it gathers. I can see pigs in pitch back with a new moon (ie: literally no light). Very helpful in hunting. I've never had to deal with glare or rings seeing as I use a sun shade.

In the very near future, I too will have a rifle like that.
