Hello!
Im currently converting my Anschutz 3 position match rifle into a benchrest machine and want to get some suggestion on scopes. ive already sourced and ordered an offset scope mount since my rifle is an early 60's rifle and only has receiver grooves on the back and is designed for barrel-mounted optics. barrel mounted optics are VERY expensive and hard to find, mostly made by Unertl.
Now ill be able to mount a standard scope to the gun and am looking for a scope that fits the following requirements:
-1" tube (specialized scope mount only has 1" rings)
Fine crosshairs for benchrest .22 target shooting
-1/8 MOA accuracy
-Magnification suitable for being able to see .22 holes through the scope out to 100 yards.
Cost is a pretty major factor as i do not have the budget right now for anything above 250, so i know it will be hard to get a quality benchrest-specific scope in that range at all....im trying to find the best bang for my buck.
The rifle is capable of same-hole accuracy at 50 yards easilly with iron sights, so this will be used for precision shooting.
