    Scope (3-400) for my 30MOA base?

    Just missed out on the Midway sale (Viper HS exclusive, 5-15x44mm), and looking for a scope that'll be used for 100,200 yard ranges, sometimes out to a 600/1000 on rare occasions. This will be sitting on top of a 700P, mounted with a Badger Ordnance 30MOA base. I need a scope that has at least 60MOA (if I'm figuring this out correctly).

    So far I'm leaning towards a Super Sniper 10x. I hear it's bright, clear, and has tons of adjustment. However, more magnification could be nice for the time being (until I save up for a Leupold).

    I was also looking at the:

    Falcon Menace 4x14x44 (dark?)

    Nikon Monarch line (not enough adjustment for the 30MOA base, bit pricey)
    -although the 2.5-10x is 20 more than the Super Sniper, and has enough adjustment?

    Millett TRS-1 (crap?)


    Ideas or suggestions would GREATLY be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Out of those I would go with the Falcon Menace. Its pretty great for the price. Resale for that will be about $300-$400 when it comes time to upgrade. Only down side is there warrenty. Falcon will get you out to 1k no problem. It wont be the clearest glass but for that price range it is great.

      Any particular reason you have a 30 MOA base? Typically a 30 MOA base is used for shooting +1000yds. You MAY run into an issue getting your 100yd or 200yd zero with that base.
      Those scopes you mentioned should get you to 1000yds on a flat base. Though 20 MOA is pretty much standard for shooting out to around 1000yds, you should have no problem with a 100yd zero on a 20 MOA base.

        Picked up the rifle used and the seller threw in the 30MOA base for cheap.
