600 Yard rifle scope

I could give you 20 different options (or more) in that price range of scopes with equal quality. I'll say the SWFA SS X10 seems to be a common "beginner" optic to start a long range career with. To put it simply, typically the guys with experience I see shooting Nightforce, US Optics, Schmidt & Bender, Leupold, and Premier Reticle.

Listen to skylerbone. That fixed 16 power Super Sniper Scope is a Japanese Tasco built and is a great scope. It was built for a gov't Navy contract. I know Tasco is is not known as a high end scope. That's because they market all their cheap stuff in the US. The Super Sniper Scope is quite different. It is high quality and a lot of bang for the buck. I know you can knit pick about this that and the other thing but the bottom line is it does the job and it won't break and it won't break the bank. I paid $300 for mine sometime ago, they may be a little more money now. The scope is as tough as nails, the adjustments are absolutely definitive and repeatable and the glass is easily up to the job for anybody and is a true 3.5" @ 100 yrd. mil-dot reticle.
I put it on this custom build I did on a Smith Corona 1903A3.
My range here in Merlin OR has a "gong" at 600 yrds. The gong is the top 18 inches of an acetylene tank suspended from chain.
This rifle/scope combo will, has and can hit the gong virtually each and every time and the combo will shoot sub-MOA groups without question.
This is not speculation, it is my actual experience from real world use on many, many occasions.

Tasco made (and makes) a lot of industrial grade scopes. I just got one marked US Govt. I also just sold a 702TR (target ranging) 6-24X scope to another member who shoots long range. Don't discount Tasco until you have used that actual model in question

Good deals on used optics can also be had on eBay.

Another scope you may want to look at is the Nikon ProStaff 4-12x40 Matte BDC.

Very nice scope for the money, life time warranty and the optics are great!

About $200....

swfa ss16x42

i recently received my ss16x42 from swfa for $316 shipped. for the price tag IMHO you cannot beat this scope. i mounted mine on top of a factory savage 12 vlp dbm in 22-243 middlestead and shot my best group ever today at 304 yds. with over 120 moa adjustment on windage and elevation, true tracking to and from zero, and an etched glass mildot reticle. here is my 3 shot group... you be the judge...



theres an error that wont let me upload the pictures, but you can see them on my thread listed as 22-243 middlestead

More magnification doesn't just magnify the target, it also magnifies any mirage. If you've never been out on a bad mirage day, you make think that this is overplayed. I assure you that I've had to dial back to around 12x to clearly see a 200yd target on a bad day. I was still able to shoot around MOA for 20rds.

Get the best glass you can afford. Makes shooting nicer at all ranges. Don't get carried away with magnification or the size of the objective. Clear glass trumps both every time.
