I am looking at getting a Remington 700 sps stainless .308 and I'm not sure what scope to get? I plan on using this rifle for target shooting and range use out to maybe 100-200 yds. It's not really going to be used for hunting. I don't really need the fanciest most expensive scope available but I don't want to buy a peice of junk either. I was looking at the Leupold Mark 4 MR/T 2.5-8x36mm but the + $1,000 price tag is too high for me. What do you think of the Mark 2 3-9x40 T2? Any experience with this scope or other suggestions? Thanks in advance.

3-9x will take you out to 3-500 yards easy. Since you won't be hunting, you don't need a very large objective. 40mm or less should be fine.
I'd be looking at the Leupold "Mark AR" 3-9x40 if I were you. Great scope, customizable BDC turret, low price. There's another thread in this sub-forum about it."Ecuador offers the United States $23 million a year in economic aid, an amount similar to what we were receiving under the tariff benefits, with the purpose of providing human rights training that will contribute to avoid violations of people's privacy, that degrade humanity," --Fernando Alvarado -

I like the bushnell 3200 trophy. it does well on my 700, its a fixed 10x.

It is true that the BDC turret that comes with the scope is for some specific .223 round out of some length barrel, but Leupold will make you a custom BDC turret for $50 or you can make your own on the blank that's in the box. I've seen some very nice looking turrets using Avery plastic labels (white instead of black, but if it works...). There is also a simple turret in the box and that scope is available in mil-dot, so you've got a whole lot of ranging options there.
Anyway, it's well within your budget, and I'd never take a pre-made bullet compensator anyway. I don't shoot M193 out of an M4 rifle so I don't ever expect the factory BDC to match up."Ecuador offers the United States $23 million a year in economic aid, an amount similar to what we were receiving under the tariff benefits, with the purpose of providing human rights training that will contribute to avoid violations of people's privacy, that degrade humanity," --Fernando AlvaradoComment

Now that is a price I can live with!!! Is that scope any good though? I'm sure it will suit my needs for what I plan on using this rifle for. I don't plan on really getting into all the fine details of precision shooting....yet. Can someone recommend some decent rings and base for this set up???Comment

Look into an EGW base and Seekins rings. Or you can just use a basic set of rings, the Leupold Dual Dovetail rings are perfect for what you entend to do. It's been holding zeros for hunters for decades.This will save some weight compared to the picatinny rail + rings setup.Comment
