Oh by the way, I'm got a SIG Tangi4 4-16x44 FFP for $400 on my 308. It is an Amazing scope for your Dollars

And here I though $500 was a lot to pay for a scope.

So far no one has mentioned old used military rifles, are they just not in this league? Or is ammunition the problem?

Please be more specific. Old rifles do shoot but since they are vintage rifles, you need to inspect the barrel which is much easier today with $50 endoscope from Amazon, and then you would have to test and upgrades deficiencies.

$500 is a cheap scope! Oh lord.

Cheapest scope on any of my Bolt rifle is $900
Most Expensive is $3400

Almost all excellent optics dropped 50% in last year or so.

I've been seeing the optics prices dropping, too. Just out of curiosity--and not to derail the topic; just the one question--what's your go-to glass for ultra-long range? Not that top-end scopes from Nightforce, Kahles, or Schmidt & Bender are exactly in my normal price range, but that doesn't mean I'm not window shopping.

I am impressed with my new Optika6 4.5-30x56. It is one of the best riflescopes for your dollars. I paid around $925 delivered.

If you have access to a Military discount you cannot go wrong with Vortex with UHD glass. Razor and above. I also hear good news for the new Vortex Strike Eagle (low cost, sub $1K)

I have 2 Burris XTR-2 scopes too. They are $1K riflescope. However, new offering by the competition made them the last couple of riflescopes.

Hunting rifles, are shelf rifle, pick one with scope and go shoot.
On the other hand, LR target Rifle by itself is like 1/3 of the cost of the full rig with optics and "needed" accessories
$600-$800 rifle would end up $1500-$2000
$1700-$1800 rifle would end up around $4K

Lately, I am more or less more into LR (1200 yard) and (ULR max 2000 yards) shooting.

A factory 6mm CrdM from HOWA, or Savage, a Remington RPR with 26" would get you to 1200 yards with no problem at all.

If you would like to Step to 1600 yards or so, step up to 6.5 PRC or 300WM would do the job
My Savage Elite Precision would launch my handload, 225gr ELDM at 3,000fps from its 30" factory barrel. It has no problem going to 2,000 yards or so.

I have a Howa 308" rifle with 22" barrel. It is good rifle for 800 yards.
