Hi there,
I recently purchased a Remington 700 SPS Varmit rifle (.223 Remington).
It was picked up at Dick's S.G. and came as a rifle and scope package. Before I bought the rifle, I was already thinking about swapping out the optics, rings, and base.
Initially, I was thinking about a scope from Mueller. Now I'm thinking about a fixed power instead of a variable. The scope in question would be a Bushnell Elite 3200 10x40 with mil-Dot Reticle. What do you think?
My current range has a maximum rifle range distance of 100 yards. But I might get access to longer distances. So a fixed 10 power should be fine for the caliber's max range, right?
As for the rings, I was thinking about Burris Signature Zee rings (with pos-align inserts) as I have used them before and didn't feel like going through the lapping process. But now I'm interested in their Xtreme Tactical Rings which would be mounted to Burris XTB Weaver-style Solid Steel Bases. If I went this route, what ring height am I looking at? Medium? Low? Anything I should know?
Thanks!
