just acquired a lightly used Savage model 12 Long Range Precision Varminteer in .204 Ruger. My club's rifle range is limited to 100 m; I am going to look into possibly joining a more distant club which has a 600 yd range. But figure I will be spending more time at 100, punching holes in paper.
Scope, rings, base...I think I want to stick with Leupold, and right now am looking at the FX-3 12x40 with adjustable objective. Don't want to get much above that, I see I can order on-line for $499. Not sure I see the advantage to a variable, but open to suggestion.
I have very little experience with target shooting with good optics, grew up with iron sights. However, my eyes are going on 71, so I could benefit from the experience of others. I have time for the decision, be a while before things warm up much around here.
Any comments or advice will be appreciated,
thanks, Ed
