I have an opportunity to get a really good trade deal towards a 30-06 Ruger #1 B, decent plain stock wood, no scope.
I am kind of leaning towards something with a 50 mm adjustable objective so I can have some range finding help from it as we have some pretty wide open spaces around here. Any help with my 62yr old, welding abused eyes with reading distance is always a good thing.
So many new scope brands. I have always like Burris for the money over Leupold. I have had excellent luck with a Simmons AETEC on a Ruger #1A .243 as the scope contour really fit the shape of the receiver/barrel profile on the rifle good. And the low light capability was pretty good. Always had excellent accuracy with that rig for the money. I would like to keep my scope cost to under $300
right now from what I have seen on the internet, Vortex and some others I have never heard of on Optics Planet have 50mm AO and 4-16 power type scopes.
Some sale priced Leupold and Redfield offerings are attractive but none had bigger than fixed 40mm objective. most were fixed power or 3-9 variables
I can get a Leatherwood ART computer model for $399, for shooting 30 cal those are nice, Dad has one on his M1A he has had for some time in his gunsafe long before he ever bought the M1A.
