Tomorrow finally am getting a cash injection, most of which goes to other things but I think out of my gun stuff one larger $$ item I really do need and would enjoy is a scope to finish off my creedmoor bench AR.
Basically a 22 inch barrel, will have a permanent bipod, weight is a non issue.
Is for 200+ yards and have easy access to 350 with another very private land range also available to me that goes up to around 1000 yards (outside of my capabilities but am saying I can drive 45 minutes and have 500 yards literally to myself whenever the weather permits).
Sooo the scope budget.. prefer to keep under $1500 but could go up to $2000 or would be happy if it was < $1000, but most importantly I want something good. Don't want to be fighting with this scope or putting the rifle aside to upgrade.
First idea, a ballpark, Nightforce SHV 5-20x 56mm with an illuminated MOAR reticle.
Thanks in advance!
