Hi all, I just recently joined, although I have been reading various posts on here for a while. I just recently got a Savage LRP in .260 and need to get a scope for it. I will probably be taking the gun hunting from a stand as well as to the ranging, shooting anywhere from 100 to 1000 yards. While hunting, I would be shooting less than 400 yards. I know many people don't line all around guns, but this is what my budget will allow now, so I will have to make do. My budget for a scope is in $1500 range. What recommendations would you make?
Thanks, Jim |

This would be my set up for said rifle, I know others will chime in with other options. This would be a good all around set-up.

Hey Jim, the SWFA 5-20X50 may work out for you, if you want FFP.

1st recommendation made by Bitterroot Bulls would get my ditto for the 1st as well -
If you think 5X is to much on the low end for your hunting then the 3-15x42 Bigdaddy mentioned goes as my 2nd choice.
Then, as we all like choices, here are a couple others that might fit the bill.
