| Hi all, my wife got me a Browning A-bolt last year for Christmas in the 7mm WSM. Sweet gun, but no scope yet. Plan on getting one soon with Christmas money. Will probably use it out west in the years to come doing some Elk hunting or possibly Mule Deer. I know I want a Leupold scope. But not sure on what power to get. What Leupold should I get for the most "bang for the buck?" Variable? No variable? Long time hunter but never really used a scope. No rifle hunting in Illinois and never really had a scope on my shotguns. Any advice is great. Thanks...... |

If you haven't shot a rifle much go find a range with at least 300 yrds.
Try and shoot as much as you can afford at that range. We have gotten moose at 500 to 600 yrds but that was with a lot of practice. We were using a 338 and 300 win mag. That 7mm wsm is a very nice round though. So practice practice practice. |

Yeah, not much rifle shooting except for an AR at short distances. Plenty of shotgun shooting out to 75-100 yards but that is with open sights. I plan to practice plenty. Just need to get a good scope setup.
Are the scopes listed above considered fix or variable power? This is confusing me for whatever reason. Thanks.... |
