    Long range scope recommendations

    Guys, I'm finally going to go ahead and get my custom rifle built and I'm going to need a good long range scope. I know it's not a lot of money but I'm already going to spend around 2k for the rifle and I simply don't have the $$$ to spend for a scope. So I'm looking for one in the 1k range...

    How many companies still make them? Who makes the best? I'm really talking about deer hunting or big game cartridges. Why don't more companies make them? What should someone's expectation be as far as accuracy from auto loaders?
