So the local precision rifle shooters got to me and I want to go play. I have zero experience in shooting at anything over 500 yards and even that far out is a rare occasion for me.
I saw a Ruger Precision Rifle reasonable and snagged it up and now am in the hunt for glass.
From what I have read I have kind of settled on a Vortex Viper 6x24 x 50 PST FFP
Mostly because it seems like the most scope for the dough ($800 ish)
I know there is better stuff but I am looking at sub $1000 stuff.
Is there anything else I should consider and why?
All of this is beyond my skill lever at the moment but I am hoping to grow into it and I want equipment that will work as I get better (hopefully) but i just am not going to buy a $2500 optic at this point. Not only am I not capable of utilizing it I don't even know enough to know what I don't know.
