    Recommend me a scope for 1k+ yards

    Build complete..it's a 6.5 creedmoor remage setup. I need a scope that can get me to atleast 1k and must have pretty good hd glass with zero stop and good positive tactive clicks. I can spend $1800 max

    The zero stop limits your options in that price range... Do you need it? Some scopes with high speed turrets have enough elevation within 1 rev its impossible to get lost... especially with a 6.5CD.

    The 34mm tube Burris XTR scopes meet your criteria, they have various mag ranges, fits your needs well with some options to consider.

    The Gen 1 Razor also fits the bill.

    If you wanted something more mid mag range then options like this are worth looking at.


    SWFA SS HD if you can ditch the zero stop and want to save a few bucks... amazing glass, built tough, but the controls are not as refined as some of these more expensive scopes.

      How much mag do you want?

      If you can live with 12, look at Kahles. Orgasmic glass.

        12 is in the low side...I'm looking for at least 20x maybe 15x if glass is really good....i can probably push my budget to 2k but that's really the max I'd be willing to spend

          I think 5-20 or similar is a really good range to try and shoot for... I would feel under magnified with a 12x top end.

          Your budget if still a few hundred shy of where it needs to be if you want to push to that next level... If you can afford it... Gen 2 Razor and don't look back... Assuming you don't mind the weight of that optic.

          Otherwise you are going to be in a pretty similar place across the board in that $1000-$1800 range... personal preference starts to come into play as well. There are some value oriented considerations to be had as well, but if you want good glass in that price range you might want to stick with a higher end 30mm tube vs trying to get a more budget price 34/35mm tube.

            I was thinking of trying this one out when mine is ready to go, no reviews yet though.

              I don't mind the weight...it's going to be a bench gun....i have a 308 for other type of shooting...maybe I should save a few more hundred and get a razor gen 2

                The gen II 3-18 maybe worth looking at..it's 1799.99 with a 10% code....that's within my budget

                    Nice rifle.

                    A couple Qs....
                    What type of targets will you be shooting at?
                    Interested in F-Class or PRS?
                    Will you be doing most or just some of your shooting at 1K?

                        Nightforce NSX 8-32. Wait for a Optics Planet sale and use the chat box.
                        If you find yourself in a fair fight, you're doing it all wrong.

                          Bob asked a couple of important questions...also are you looking for a FFP or SFP scope?

                            I don't do any type of competition at the moment...I'm still new at this and not confident enough....right now I do most of my shooting at 5-800 yards steel targets with a .308....with this rifle I'll be mostly shooting 800-1000 yds...maybe farther when I get a chance to go to the dessert....i just go out and shoot with friends and family
