3 part question.. looking to get into tacticle shooting which scope

[lal357]

the final pieces for my 308 tacticle biuld have came in now time to think about a scope (or better)
right now i have a abused but never been off vector 10x50 mm mil dot scope right now i shot it at 300 yrds and have no problem picking off pieces of clay pigeons .
i plan on shooting this in :
1- modified club f class matches (f-un class anything under a 50bmg aloud)
2- tacticle matches that require shooting 100 to 700 yrds ranging might be required
3- shooting steel out to 1000 yrds

i mostly shoot sfp target scopes in f class matches where ranging is not needed 10 power seems to be to low for what i'm planning to do with the rifle and i'm thinking a variable will be a better choice. i'm thinking something no more than 24power max but cant decide on either mildot or moa hash marks as for price i'm limited to 500-700 (after income taxs).
rifle specs are :
savage 110
20" threaded with very agressive brake
cdi bdm (alpha and AI mags)
boyds thumbhole varmint stock
harris bipod

1- moa or mildot or what
2-ffp or sfp
3- fixed or variable and what max power

any input on this

Spend $30 and get a Type 3 FFL- Collectors License. Once you have it, send to to Grafs & Sons for their dealer discount.

You'll then have a ton of high end Bushnell, Nikon, and Sightron scopes that fit in your budget. I'd vote for the 6-24x50 S3 MOA.

Then send it to Brownells and everyone else that gives you a discount for the license.

i ended up going with a nightforce 12-42x56 benchrest np-r1 recticle got it cheap (956.00 shipped) . i still might do that type 3 ffl - collectors license

Wow, that is a nice scope and a really good price. Do you mind sharing where you got it at that price?

[lal357]

lucked up on ebay i was looking at sightrons (online venders) and figured i'd see what was out for nightforces it was from a person tried f class and didnt like it (the sport ) so it sat in a safe from all the pics i looked at and emailing back and forth it was not used alot plus with thier warranty i could not lose.tracking puts it in my hands tuesday

[barrel-nut]

Good for you. Hope it works out well for you!

[lal357]

lol i hope so to now i have to decide if i'm going to keep the bushnell elite that i had on it or save it for a back up (after i send it off to get a custom dot recticle put in it )

mounted the nightforce last night and sighted it in today @ 300 yds looking thru it and my sightron i dont see much if any difference between the 2 beside the nightforce is heavier. i still cant complain about the price i got it for . now to see how it and the rifle do in the match tomorrow.

What kind of discount dies grafs give to cr holders?

What kind of discount dies grafs give to cr holders?

Optics seems to be the biggest discount. But I think it depends on the pricing they get from the manufacturers. Not a straight percent.

It's a big enough discount that I've more than paid for my C&R license on every order I've made with Grafs.

Here's the fine print. You have to order $2000 a year to maintain the discount with them.
