Hi,
I just got a Remington 700P LTR in .308. I'm debating what scope I'd like to put on this rifle. It will be mostly a target rifle ranging from 50-1000 yards max but I do hunt occasionally.
Right now I'm looking at Either the Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 4.5-14x50mm M5 with Tactical Milling reticle seen HERE OR the Weaver 3-15x50mm Tactical Model seen HERE.
The scopes are very similar in features, they both have mil reticles with mil turrets. The Weaver has a slightly greater magnification range and a 2-color illuminated reticle whereas the leupold just has a black reticle.
The main difference is cost. The Weaver can be obtained for about $900 whereas the Leupold will be $1500+.
Is the Leupold worth the extra money, and if so, why? I have budgeted about $1750 max for optics on this rifle.
Thanks!
