Finally got my taxes done and my scope funding took a nose dive. So in the interim I bought a Viper 6.5-20x50 PA Riflescope Mil-Dot today.
Looks like the best of the low end, good quality scopes from what I could tell. I dont know if it will take me to 1000 with a .308, but I dont shoot much farther that 200 the great majority of the time.
It will start off on my AR-15 7.62x39 since turkey season is about over and I will be just shooting pigs til Fall. By then I will have bought my <$1500 scope, still TBD.

Viper is a decent scope for the money. Glass looks OK. Not as good as a Leupold 6.5-20x40 Vari X III.
They forgot to screw the windage knob in all the way. But I managed to pop the label ff the end and get it tightened down. Other than that everything looks good.
I mounted it and shot about 60 rounds. But the wind was blowing really hard so I didnt get to test out the tracking.

This is my long range varmint gun. 1:7 Wilson air-gauged service rifle contour barrel with RRA 2-stage trigger polished. Works great! It loves 24 gr RL-15 and 80 gr SMK. Still havent had a calm day to test the tracking.
