Scope recommendations
You didn't list what you want to spend. It is very important to make some decisions.
If you are only going to spend x number of dollars total on your firearms package that changes your choices.
You may want to spend a lot on your rifle and buy a cheaper scope to replace it later. The only problem is you end up with an extra scope sitting around.
If you spend at least 150.xx dollars on a scope it will not be a pos.
I recommend a Redfield revolution, or Nikon if you have 150-250 to spend.
I recommend a leupold or zeiss if you have 400-500 to spend.
Unless you are planning on really long shots or prairie dog shooting I recommend 1x4, 1x5, 2x7, 2.5x8, 3x9, 3.5x10 for your power range.
There are Members with far more knowledge than I have on this forum. I am sure they will be also offering their input.
