[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1413715, member: 7123"] Chambering aside (and you've gotten good advice on that - certainly change that up): It kinda depends. What's the shortest range that you want to be able to shoot at? If the shortest range is 300 yards or more, then a fixed target scope in the 30-50 power range. On that budget, Sightron SIII or SII Big Sky, Leupold, Weaver, etc. if you want to be able to shoot also at "normal" ranges (under 300), then a variable. Without know more, I'd say probably this one: [url]http://swfa.com/Sightron-36x42-SII-Big-Sky-Riflescope-P11091.aspx[/url] Back on chambering, in my understanding, quite a few people do reasonably well at 600 with 1 in 7 twists and heavies (80-100 grainers) in .223. But it goes to hell in a handbasket not too far past 600. The BCs just aren't there. [/QUOTE]
