[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2672395, member: 4235"] Here is a good one that is in your price range: [url]http://swfa.com/SWFA-SS-10x42-Tactical-Riflescope-P53712.aspx[/url] While it's not variable power, it at least has pretty decent glass, good tracking turrets, and matching reticle and turrets, which are some of the most important things to have for a long range precision scope. Obviously you're going to have to give something up with that limited of a budget, and to me, variable power takes a back seat to those other considerations for the LRP role. Now I have to say that while this scope would be great for the target range, a fixed 10x would not be ideal for hunting. I guess it might come down to how much hunting you think you will actually be doing. If hunting is a major part of your planned use for the rifle, you might be better off with something like a Leupold VXII 3-9x40 with a mil dot reticle. It won't have the nice target turrets, and your click values won't match your reticle units, but it will have good glass, a reticle that is useful for long range, and the ability to adjust down to lower magnification for hunting, where most shots are made from pretty close range.
