Ok guys, I'm trying to set up a gun for some long range shooting, I'm gonna end up going with either a 6.5 creedmore or a 6mm creedmore in a ruger precision rifle. I'm wanting this to be a 1000 yard gun and other than trying some shots at 600 yards, this will be my first attempt at long range lead slinging. I've been sold on the vortex 6-24 x 50 hs-lr ffp scope. But I just read a lot of reviews that sightron is better. I also read that the higher magnification is a big no no. I've got a discount on the vortex for $630 until Sunday, so obviously at that price I'm thinking of going ahead and getting it at that price. And I'm on a serious budget, so nightforce,Leupold and all those are out. Let me know what you guys with experience think please.
