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.

A review of <$1k scopes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcnikG1Vofc&t=321s The reviewer liked the Nikon FX1000 for the money.
Don't want to buy Chinese. I try not to support people getting rich off paying their employees $.27 an hour and this has been my attitude long before the virus.

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
-
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

Was going to try and hit the thousand yard mark
Around a $1000 but I know I'll probably end up spending more for quality
-
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
-
Ok thanks. Idk I'm on the fence with competition my buddy invited me to go shoot three gun so one never knows. Lol.

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.

Plan on reloading a few hundred rounds a month. Maybe a 3-4 calibers. I don't wanna break the bank but I understand quality costs money. So quality comes first. Thanks for your help

Hello everyone, I'm looking to get back into reloading. I used to have a single stage press but I'm looking to get a progressive press. What are your recommendations, I was looking at a Dillon
thanks

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.
