What scope for Remington 700?

[Flatbush Harry]

I had a 30-y/o Redfield 2-7x that I mounted on my Rem 700 SPS SS in .308 Win...for what I use it for (namely, various use at <350 yds), this range is perfectly adequate...and I can shoot to <1 MOA at 200 yds from a rest.

Cheers,

FH

Bushnell is a great value. You get a pretty decent scope for the money. I have a 3200 on my Bushmaster. Not the best, but a great value. Just an opinion though. Super Sniper too, but you will have to move up to the $320-$420 range.

My Model 700 in 270 wears a Leupold VX3 4.5x14 power with the Boone & Crockett long range reticle.It is ideal for a very wide range of shots.
I hunt the Minnesota north woods with close shots at black bear and the coulee country of the Dakotas for whitetails - where some longer shots are common.I used many low to mid power scopes over the years and always wished I had more power when I needed it.A good 3.5x10 power scope is about as low as I would go for short or long shot versatility.Leupold makes a dandy line of scopes for the price. Hard to beat their quality and clarity without breaking the bank.
Good luck with those 500 yard shots.
I know one guy who can muster that kind of accuracy.
But then shooting is his religion...

Not sure what you'll be using your remmy 700 for however the scope I'd recommend, especially if it will be hunting with you is a Leupold VX-II or higher. Very very well made scopes, will take a good beating and are sealed very well. The VX-II 3-9x40 goes for about $310, if you want to spend a little less the Burris FullField II is a good choice, too, but if you can swing it I'd highly recommend the Leupold.
