Need help with scope for my Whisper

[egraham]

I just got a remington 700 300 whisper. My sierra software says at 200 yards the bullet will drop almost 33 inches if zeroed at 100 yards.

Can anybody reccomend a scope that does not cost more than $500 that would work for this? I need adjustable turrets that I can use in the field. 200 yards will be the longest shot I ever take.

Thanks

I have a set of Night Force tapered bases for the 700, 20 moa of elevation built in.

Cheaper then a scope and you should still be able to zero at 100 yards leaving the maximum amount of elevation adjustment available.

email if you want 'um.

I have used a ss 10x with mil dot from swfa with success. Also a 20 moa base will help. Your main problem is you will need a 30 mm tube to give you a bit more adjustment. Both items shipped new were $360 'midwayusa.com and swfa.com and I have taken a few deer with it past 100 yds with no problem.

Check out Kenton Industries. They make custom knobs for many scopes. They said they would cowitness a drop for subs and a drop for supers on the same knob. You have to come up with your own data and required offset between the two zeros. I will try this on a Leupold M3 since it has the 1 MOA adjustments to move me around quicker. I hope to get my drop chart info finished and sent to them this year so they can engrave. As far as a scope under $500 goes, I just bought a Leupold Mark 2 for $500 and a Burris Tac-30 for under $300 and the Burris is much better. The Burris has a 30mm tube with 80 MOA adjustment. They also put bigger lenses in the bigger tube unlike other manufacturers. The ballistic plex reticle is also useful for impromtu long shots with subs. Another option: I had Premier put a dual drop reticle in a Leupold M8 for my suppressed/chopped .308 so I can shoot subs and supers without touching knobs. It works great, but the fine crosshair disappears when using nightvision.
