Out of my wheelhouse and thought I might ask for a recommendation..
Got a call from someone I know today who was gifted a mid-1970s Remington 760 in .270 win. It looks to be in perfect condition and the story is that it was only used once for a Idaho deer hunt in the late 70's or early 80's.
I was asked about what kind of scope and rings sight be a good match for this rifle. However, I have no experience to draw from.
Am I correct that something like a 3x9x40 might be a good candidate? Any brands or models to look at? (LOL, my knowledge here ends with words like Redfield Widefield, Nikon and Leupold with no context to flesh this out.) I am thinking that price range will be lower end - say $150 - $250.
I think it is tapped for a scope. Will it need scope bases to go with low or medium rings?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
