New member here! Long range scopes!

I highly recommend the Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50. I've taken mine well past 1k and it has been flawless.

This! Same as well.

Hello, I'd like to thank the admins for my approval! Look forward to all the informational threads !
My first question to throw out there, is recommendations on a long range adjustable scope for my Remington 700 6mm and Ruger American 308? Trying not to break the bank on a purchase, being new to trying to reach out to 500 yds or less , for now! Any help would be appreciated! Tom

SLightly over your budget but very affordable ae some scopes on the LRH classifieds in the 3.5-14 or 15 with 50mm objectives.

Let me suggest you start shopping there and just be prepared to spend 500-700.00. That way you're starting out with a very good scope from the get-go instead of starting cheap and having to upgrade two or three times over the next few years.

No I'm not a mills guy I traded it to a buddy for a 6 mm arc barrel,15" hand guard and a sh4 Gen 2 4x16 scope. I have a nightforce atacr 5 x 25 enhanced on the 338.

My experience, FWIW, has been that the turrets on lower budget scopes are not to be trusted. Some give true moa or mil movement and return to zero but I haven't seen many. Get a scope with a good moa or mil reticle and once you're sighted in leave the turrets alone and use the reticle for your hold overs. Get a rangefinder and anemometer and work up a ballistics chart with hold over and 10 mph wind. It's easy to quickly break wind speed into 10ths.

Midway currently has some vortex scopes on sale that would fit your price range.
