I will be rebarreling my Savage in the next month or so with the intention to start shooting long range (500-1000 yards).
I would prefer a scope with 100+ moa of internal adjustment. My eyesight is not too good (mild case of keratoconus) and fatigues after prolonged scope use, so I I'm guessing in my case I should be looking for clarity over contrast, correct? Now for the hard part.. my budget tops out at around $600. It would seem that the perfect choice is the fixed Siii scopes. I did find Koshkin's site and read his review of the 10x Siii scope which did raise some issues and points me too the $300 SS scopes but I'm concerned about the glass quality being up to snuff for prolonged long range use. The SSHD scopes are simply too expensive (unless I get lucky with a sample list find). If I do go with a fixed power, should I go 16x or 20x? I don't believe 10x will cut it for me no matter how good the class is. My concern with using a 20x fixed scope (SS or Siii) is the optical quality of the glass and to a lesser extent the mirage at long distance (I live in TX, hot summers). I could just say the hell with it and just get a classic Vortex Viper and a 20 moa base. What do you guys think? Is there another line of scopes I am missing? Thanks |

If you are going to shoot F-class, you need an F-class scope. Your budget does not include the higher end optics, so here are some suggestions:
These are decent "beginner/starter" optics to see if this is what you truly want to pursue and if you do, save for a better scope. Nightforce 12-42 comes to mind...
