great suggestion. Opticsplanet had my head spinning.
So I went with the Sig for now.
I looked at a few today. Great suggestions.
I was looking at leupold, vortex and nikon at academy. All seem like great options especially in the $200-400 range.
Like I mentioned above, I went with the sig. Seemed like I couldn't go wrong with that as the first scope I will have purchased. My dad's rifle still has one on it and it is zeroed. The remington has the scope that came with it in a trade a couple years ago. The name on the scope (Mueller) isn't anything I recognized and didn't seem very good which is what had me shopping. I think the Sig will be better than what my dad's rifle has mounted currently and way better than the mueller on the remington. If I feel the need to improve, I'll take another look at the Vortex Viper HS 2.5x10x44 or a Leupold VX-3i 3.5x10x40 mentioned by reagan. thanks for the help
