Need some help. I'm a gun guy but I'm not a big scope guy. Almost everything I own has iron sights on it but this question isn't for me. I've got a friend at work who wants to buy her boyfriend a rifle scope as a Christmas present and knowing I'm a gun guy asked my advice. I told her I wasn't familiar enough to advise her well but that I'd ask you good folks for advice and see what shakes out.
He has two rifles. A Tikka T3 Deluxe and a Sako Deluxe, both in 7mm-08. She wants to get him a really nice scope and when I asked her how much she was willing to spend she said, "Umm, $500 maybe $600?"
Makes me wish now I'd asked her out back when she was single.
Anyway, she works as an Xray tech so I know she isn't made of money and $500 is a pretty hefty wack for a single present. We don't know what exactly he'll be doing with the scope but this is East Tennessee so we can assume he'll be hunting with it at the very least.
So what's the best all around scope I could suggest in the $500 or less range for these guns?
