Hello the camp!
I'm finally able to put together a kit for the 600 yard range my club opened a couple of years ago. I've settled on the rifle & cartridge (Tikka, 6.5 Swede) but need to choose a scope (& mounts). What current production brand & model would you recommend?
Most serious target scopes appear to be mil dot types, but from my reading I have the impression that mil dot's advantage (over MOA) is that it's useful for range estimation. But my ranges will be fixed- 200,. 300 & 600 yards, with a chance for an occasional 1000 yd. shoot.
