I have a never been shot 10 year old Remington model 700 rifle that I need to put a scope on. It's a 7mm.

Any recommendations?

I've heard good things about Vortex scopes.

It's a value decision. Vortex is popular because they are viewed as the best

That should get you into a Vortex PST with a simple duplex reticle.

Also, another mistake I made was when getting scope rings the base mounts

7mm is an excellent long range rifle.

That recommended scope is a great scope.

OldCosmo

I'll have to look into that.

For Bullets look into Barnes TSX. as for the grain you need to get boxes

Agree with this!

I think I have your exact gun, but chambered in 300 RUM.

readybreak

That's it but in the 7mm.

There is no reason to need a 16xpower scope for deer hunting in utah

crimedog

5/20/15 11:15am

Agree to disagree. Depends on where and how you hunt.

readybreak

5/20/15 11:58am

This is true, but there are very few places in Utah that require

Night Force. That is what the military snipers use.
