I am considering getting into the field of precision rifles. I am looking to buy a Remington 700 SPS tactical(when I can find one) and a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x 40mm scope. First question, is this a decent scope? It's mainly just for paper punching at 500ish yards. I don't hunt, and don't really plan to. And the main question, do I need to buy any extra mounting stuff in order to get it to mount to the rifle? The only experiance I have with optics is mounting red dot sights to flat top AR15s. Eotechs have picatinny rail mounts built in, so nothing extra is needed. I know that scopes have rings that the scope sits in that attach to the rifle. Does the Nikon scope come with rings for it? Will thse rings mount right to the rifle? Do I need to get something like a rail system that bolts to the rifle that the rings then attach to? Basically, what extra stuff is needed other than the rifle and the scope to make them fit together?
