I recently inherited a brand new CZ 550 .30-06 with no scope. I am still reading all the posts that recommend various scopes but there is so much information I'm getting lost. Since I haven't fired a rifle in 15 years, I tried going to the local hunting store and the salesman kept showing me the $99 Simmons(didn't get the model). After reading most of the information here, I'm glad I didn't go for it. I would like a good mid-to-long range scope. I am trying to keep the price around $400. I will be using it mostly for target shooting but hope to pick up hunting in the near future.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Troop, get a 3-9x40 Zeiss Conquest. They are the best scopes in their class right now...Carry on!! |

You did right by avoiding the Simmons.
Nice rifle. I like the ones with the Bavarian style full forearm stock. |

I second the 3-9 Zeiss Conquest. I got one for Christmas and while I haven't had it for long, I find it to be excellent. It'll get you past legal shooting time just fine. I've compared it to my Leupold Vari-X and VX-II's and the Conquest knocks their socks off around dark for clarity. I was amazed at the difference I could tell.
