I appreciate the feedback. Currently, using a older Unertl scope, 24x dot; beautiful scope, just not for what I want to accomplish.
Rings/bases?

Badger Ordinance for the 700, I prefer LaRue for ARs but GG&G makes good stuff too, as do a few others.
If both are shooting <0.5MOA out to very long ranges, I don't understand why you'd change a thing!

I sortta agree with RC; to have such accurate and custom rifles, it seems like a waist to handicap them with glass that doesn't meet the same standard.
That said, might I suggest a Zeiss Conquest in either 4.5-14x50 or 6.5-20x50, both can be had with mildot reticles, but may be a 100 or 2 above your price, but it's good glass. You may also want to look at the new Burris tactical scopes or Nikon's Tactical or even the Monarch line.

I also know that there is a dimisnishing return on scope quality, clarity, accuracy and repeatability. That is, after a point, every dollar you sepnd buys you less and less differance. What I'm trying to find is the "knee of the curve" where a lot of extra $'s buys you some improvement; but from the good shooter it is basically undiscernable.
Is that point a $1000 Conquest, Monarch X, Leu Mark 4 or is it a $700 Sightron, Bus 4200/6500, etc?
More data on rings/bases, please.
Thanks.

During my search several months back, one thing I found was (most, and perhaps all) 1" scopes don't have a lot a great deal of internal adjustment in comparision to the 30mm tubes.
A Zeiss Conguest 6.5-20x50 has roughly 44 MOA (give or take a couple) of internal adjustment and depending on the caliber & how far you're shooting it may be something to consider (I'm not very familiar with how flat a 260 Remington really shoots). Sure, there are 20 MOA bases and Burris scope rings with offsets that will do the same that can be used but the trade off is, you may be giving up some of the ability to use the scope up close.
I needed internal adjustment (308) so I went with a Leupold 8.5-25x50 VX3. I have a Zeiss 4.5-14x50 and its a sweet scope and one thing I really like about it is I can zoom from 4.5 all the way to 14 and the eye relief is constant . The Leupold is very close as well but up around 18x a slight eye relief adjustment is needed.
Clarity, although the color is a tad different between the two, is pretty much the same for my eyes. But, the Leupold gives me plenty of MOA (more than I will ever need for a 308) from 100 all the way to 1000 yards.

I think the same concept could be applied concerning a custom rifle. As far as scopes are concerned I used to use Leopold's but after using a Nightforce I would never go back. But they are 2x more than your max dollar amount without rings. As far as rings go I have never been let down with Warne. They are not a pretty as others but they are certainly functional.

nail right on the freakin head. leupolds prices are going up (into NF territory) and quality is steadily going down. not that they have EVER compared to a nightforce, but they certainly do now, and its a no brainer. you cant get more scope for your money than you can with a NF. show me another company that offers that quality, and that reliability, with MIL/MIL, or MOA/MOA options, the option of zero stop, and GREAT glass, for that price. sure you can spend more and get a S&B that will feel a little more refined and will have a little better glass (the F1 glass compares to S&B though), but other than that there is nothing else that compares.
if only SWFA carried them. with all of the NF talk all over this forum you would think somebody would get on the ball.

I just bought a SS 10X, side focus and used for the AR. Looking forward to seeing it later this week.
Still looking at glass for the 260 Rem; lots of great choices out there. Looking hard at the NXS, Conquest, Nikon tactical, Leu Mark 4's. It's a little longer range so am looking at the 4-16x range variables. Good choices?
Any more info on rings and bases, men?
Thanks.

| On the down side these only have 50 moa of internal adjustment so a plus 20moa base is a good idea and a plus 30 moa base is too much. As for the NXS I dont like that the whole back end of it turns since I like butler creek flip ups. I also really expected the glass to be better than the one I looked through and thought it really wasnt up to what I had expected so look first before you leap. NXS is known for ultra reliable adjustments and lots of internal adjustment. As for Nikon

This should be a nice scope but I think it does not have much internal adjustment 50moa
Leupold Mk4's I have two of these a 3.5-10 FFP and a 8.5-25x50 illuminated which is more power on the low end than I would like so I would recomend a lower power range.
Leupold is quite reliable but the glass is middle of the road and the price is strong but the service is quite good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Leupold but I really like the Trijicon 5-20x50 with its illuminated reticle and I think either the green or amber mil dot would be the way to go unless it was a combat optic then one of the post reticles would be preferable.

do you actually have any experience with any of these scopes? i see you posting up all the time recommending people scopes which half the time IMO doesnt even fit their bill. how can you recommend somebody a product if you have no experience to form an opinion around? the two trijicon's you've posted up here are very new to the market (not even sure they're in stock yet) and ive not even heard of any feedback with them so its far from a proven scope, and your recommending it to the guy.
and the trijicon doesnt have a illuminated reticle they use fiber optic and tritium.

Of those listed, I would avoid the Leupold and lean much more toward the NXS, but that's just me.
