[QUOTE="DonV, post: 949044, member: 58450"] I am looking for a good scope for a tikka 300 mag I am willing to spend $800 - $1000 max. I want it to be available from Cabelas (I have $800 in Cabelas bucks to use). It is for hunting. I like variable power and I like low magnification for faster target acquisition. I shoot fairly accurately without a lot of magnification. That said I am not shooting at a deer at 600 yards with 6x. I want a simple easy to use scope that adjusts for drop and windage. I have never shot a gun with a scope that adjusts in any way for drop or windage. This is new and I like to keep everything as simple as I can. I really need some input on this. I am not looking to shoot a whitetail at 100 yards. I am a bowhunter and live in Oh where rifle are not legal to hunt. I am used to getting close to game. That said I want to be able to take longer shots then my 30-06 can make. For example shooting at a mature bull elk at 600 yards. I do not need perfection in adjustments, but I do not want to guess a 3 foot holdover. My point is I want basic adjustments that are not tricky or time consuming. Please give me a few ideas where to start and what reticle systems are available. Thanks! DonV OH [/QUOTE]
