Hey guys...forgive my ignorance, but there are just so many options out there, I'm not exactly sure what my best options for the money are.
I'm picking up a rem 700 sps in 7mm rem mag. I'm planning on purchasing a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12 x 50 AO (with dead hold BDC reticle). I haven't had a 50mm bell before and I've never owned a rem 700.
I need to know what guys would recommend for mounting this scope to the rem 700 (base and rings). This is going to be a general use/hunting rifle. I'll probably be shooting out to maybe 400-500 yards (just target shooting at this range). What do you guys recommend that will be tall enough for that 50mm bell and strong enough to put up with the 7mm rem mag recoil. Any bolt handle clearance issues that you foresee with this scope? My budget for base and rings is only $50 - $75.
