Hello Tyler,
Actually, I grew up shooting rifles but this is my first time owning one.
As I said above, I'm quite sure some people can consistently hit long range targets with low powered scopes or "iron sights"
Normal "basics" is not my goal. I am interested in "millitary basics" thus the desire to learn mil-dot. That is more interesting to me than the rifle itself. And yes I am aware millitary also teaches the use of iron sights.
I want a Bushnell Elite 6-24x50. I guess Savage shooters don't use mil-dot scopes. (By the way that was a joke).
