I have a few $$$ saved up and been thinking about some scope swapping and buying.
Right now I have an IOR 4-14x50 on my Target AR and very happy with it. I have the exact same scope on my NM M1A but rarely shoot it. I have a Remington 700p LTR with threaded barrel in .308, that I have had for many years. I only have about 150rds though it and have been thinking about shooting it more. Right now I have an inexpensive scope on it and thinking about moving the IOR from the M1A onto it.
I also have an Armalite AR-30 in .300 WM that I have had for a few years an also hardly shot. I wanted to use this with one of my silencers but was never able to get a good adapter for it so had been researching my options. I think I finally found an adapter that will work with this gun and ordered one. If it works it is time for a good scope. I will mostly just be "bench"/target shooting with it. This gun is too big and bulky to hunt with. I am looking at using it at 500 yards or more, as I have many guns for shorter ranges. I will be buying another IOR for this gun but I am not sure what power to get.
With my 4-14x50 I run almost exclusively at 10x which works good for so many reasons. The other I am looking at is a 6-24x50 which I see often suggested. I am planning on target shooting and maybe some varmint type shooting also. Any thoughts on either of these powers from people that do long range shooting?
