    Who says you have to buy Chinese anything?  OP was looking for information and the goal of information is to weigh one's options, provide your own checks and balances to that information.  Other than that, you're standing on a soap box trying to impose your beliefs and your frame of reference on the rest of the world.  You say you don't want to buy Chinese crap, but I'm pretty sure that most of the technology you depend on is made in China.  Crap or not.

    maybe you should read his post he recommend a nikkon and in the heading I said I don't want to buy a Chinese scope so if I'm going to be ridiculed for that well excuse me. I have the right to my beliefs and you have the right to your beliefs.

    5-25 is way to go for 1k+.  As for what to get, the answer to that is the best you can afford.  My picks are Schmidt-Bender and Nightforce.  I'd rather buy better quality used than lesser quality new, as long as it's not abused.  And if you check places like snipershide, there are often good deals to be had because a lot of folks change stuff out constantly so they have the latest stuff.  I would also recommend FFP if you intend to use it, and mils v. moa.

    Ok thanks. I was looking at used scopes if in only going to save a couple to three hundred dollars then I'll just buy it new especially because I see they really hold there value.

    Pardon if this is a silly question, but will a stock Rem 700 be accurate

    enough at 1,000 yards to warrant a $2,000 scope ?

    I don't know, but why not find out and there would be nothing better hitting at a 1000 with a $700 rifle; and if it doesn't work out I'll put the scope on something else.

    So many unanswered questions:

    What focal plane?

    Clarity of glass is critical to a lot of folks, more than X power.

    What is the Eye Box/Eye relief?

    FOV is a critical success component.

     

    Some very good scope shave a very small eye box.

    What type of shooting? solid platform at 800-1000 yards v 400-600 yds with multiple targets.

    Look at Anthlon as a possible.

     

    SWFA has a huge selection of scope with info.  I would suggest a lot more research.

     

    Okay that's part of the reason I'm here thanks for your info

    If you keep an eye on the for sale ads over on accurateshooter.com, lots of times you can catch a NXS 5x22 for around $1100-$1200...I also have a couple of SHV on my hunting rifles and have nothing bad to say about them...

    Thanks. A lot I'm just reluctant to buy something I can't see.  This guy didn't like the fact there's no true zero stop on shv. I don't know enough about scopes 

  6. That's funny cause I've had my eyes on a nightforce svh but read a couple negative reviews, just saying that it should be better for the money and they recommended the same nxs as well my arms just shrink and can't reach my wallet. Lol. Also that scope is about three times what my gun is.  But gotta pay for quality. Thanks for your recommendation

  7. Lol. He said I could use his equipment really nice of him. Ok thanks I just worry about switching back and fourth between calibers. Guess I just need to get enough brass so I don't switch as often. 

    Thanks for the advice 

  8. Hi I was wondering what kind of scope you guys would recommend for a 300 win mag. It will mainly be used for long range shooting and an occasional hunt here and there.  I don't want to buy Chinese and that's been my style way before the virus.  Preferably American.  It's an inexpensive stock rem 700. 

    Thanks for any advice. 

  9. Thanks so much I was just checking it out it seems like a good start. And easier to use then the 750. Or is it worth spending the extra money now for 750 are caliber changes as easy. Cause for now I plan on reloading 223, 308 and 300 win mag.  Waiting on pistol permit and then will be reloading 9mm
