Re: scope recommendation - Elk hunting

I'm happy to spend your money! :lol:
I see that. :-)

The general dictum for a good bolt rifle is that you should be willing to spend at least as much money (if not more) on the optic as you did on the rifle.
I know; and this ia actually for an $1100 BAR......

scope recommendation - Elk hunting

I'm looking for riflescope recommendations for the following criteria:

# purpose is Elk hunting out to 400+ yds
# rifle calibre is 270 Win
# max magnification of at least 12x
# min mag of 3.5 to 4x (would like the scope to be usable for hog hunting and paper @ 100yds
# can I get something acceptable for < $500.00 ?

brands I'm currently considering: Leupold and Vortex, but willing to consider others

thanks
