Need a scope now

[texas bound]

Just got my rifle back from the gunsmith today and now that I have gotten a lot of great advise on base and rings. Now I need some tips on scopes. Looking to try and take this rifle to 1000 yards one day and need glass to do it. I'm not brand loyal on scopes. So what does the lr guys on here say.

What kind of money are you looking to spend?

Leupold Mark 8 with the H58 reticle.

This is one option plus nightforce, US optics, s&b, huskemaw, etc in no particular order

They will all get it done but it really depends on budget

You need to read this and tune in for the rest. Unbiased.

You don't need a $3500-4000 mk8 to get to 1000 yards. I use a mk4 to get to 1000 easily. Read the stuff in the link.

I think you should go with one of those square view redfields

Lol the wide fields. I have one floating around somewhere... Rest assured it's not in rings on a rifle.

Common now Coach, you of all people should know the superiority of the square view

I would like to stay close to 1K but would go up to 1.5k if I have too.

Thanks. That is a great read. Lots of info and helped clear up some things but now it made it harder for me to chose as well.

If I remember right it is purple now... Kind of a deep purple. It would match your speedo if you wanna talk trade.

You thought I was going all early 70's music reference with you... But nope. Speedo.
