I am soon to be purchasing a scope for a remington 700pss and am looking for a good target scope....about 4-16 magnifacation enough adjustment to shoot out to 1k. I have about 900 bucks to use towards it....Hit me with yawls opinions. Thanks |

This is a nice scope and will serve you well and still nail your budget. I like your power range of 4-16x.
The one flaw with this scope is the lack of "up" they come with..... Not to worry Oh Optics Grasshopper, it's easily rectified with "scope Viagra". Better known as a canted rail.....

Another option would be a 4-14x44 Zeiss Conquest. There are a couple on the Sample List right now.

I would only do the Zeiss if you plan to send it back to them for a target turret upgrade ($50/turret.)
Otherwise, http://www.swfa.com/pc-10180-292-ior-4-14x50-tactical-30mm-r ifle-scope.aspx
no question. For the money, you won't beat it (and illuminated reticle is $90 more, if you want.) The glass is very good, the mechanics are good, it will go well on a PSS. I just put this one's big brother, the FFP 3-18 on a PSS in 300WM.
Also, for that kind'a shooting, get a Badger 20MOA base (the scope comes with rings.)
The Zeiss is a great scope, I have one one a hog-killer, but it isn't the ideal choice for that weapon. Get the IOR.
