So I picked up an American Rifle this week in 30-06 as my first bolt gun (other than my Mosin) and want to put a scope on her.
I don't want to spend a fortune on a scope (I know buy once, cry once) but am willing to spend up to $300. This rifle is going to be used for me to learn how to shoot at distances greater than 100 yards and will likely be used for hunting down the road.
I have been doing as much reading as I can and at this point things are starting to run together
A few scopes I have been looking at are the Burris Fullfield ii, the Redfield Revolution and the Vortex Diamondback. Are there others that you would recommend? And should I look at the 3-9x40 or 4-12x40?
Also what are some good rings? I've heard good things about the Burris Zee rings. Medium height?
Thanks in advance for any help!
