hello. i just got a savage mkII .22 for target and varmit hunting. i also have a savage 10fp. i am used to 3-500 yd shots with m-16 and iron sights so i am new to using a scope. i want to use the .22 to hone my skills and eventually work to 1000 meters with the 10. i am looking for a good scope to start with. preferably mil dot and adjustable parallax. right now i am stuck between the bsa contender 3-12 or the weaver kaspa tactical. i am also open to any suggestions for optics and any tips. thanks in advance.

Hi, I am also new to OT, I have been reading up on the SWFA scopes, any comments about them. I'm looking for a economical version to go on top of a .338 Lapua. I would like to get out this summer and start shooting but If I have to save a little longer to get a "better scope", well it's gonna suck but I guess I have to do that.

I have been lookin at scopes from 3000.00 to 300. And until you get them out to the field, well then you can figure it all out. But sh*t balls, I don't have that kinda time or cash. I just want a good optic to get out there, splatter some yote's and touch out there at least 1000 metres or so. But man, where do you start, so I see on here,"OT" and see there own scopes. I go looking and the have a great 16X scope that looks good, but I don't know anything about them. Only that they are onsale. But until you saddle up to it and try and reach down range. I don't have an opinion.

For the rimfire I like the 6X better, would serve dual purpose if you ever needed it

So I picked up a new 300 win mag, Tikka T3 heavy Barrel. I was going to put a Leatherwood ART 1000 on top, but I am going to swtich out the 4-14X50 leupold, that is on my 25-06, and put the Art on that rifle. so that I can use the 14 power to reach a little further down range with the 300. What do you guys think about that?? I know that Leatherwood makes the 1200. But I have these two scopes in my hands right now. And this past winter, I kinda have been on a buying spree. So I have to slow down somewhere.
