I'm looking at mounting a scope conventionally (not forward).
Intended uses are target shooting, possibly deer/hog hunting and generally using the rifle to do things my 556 carbine cannot.
I'm looking for 2-3 suggestions for a mount and scope. I'm not asking for what's "best".
I don't know much about scope mounts for this gun.
For the scope my initial thoughts were 3-10x but I can see shooting out to 500/600 yards at least on the range so I may want to go up to 4-14x. Not sure if illuminated reticles are available at this magnification level.
Budget for mount would be around $200 (I know the mount is important).
Budget for the scope would be around $500 give or take a bit.
Looking forward to your input.
