Black Friday is close and there are already sales going on. I’ve scoured this forum, trying to figure out what scope to put on my new BAR. I’ve learned a lot from this group and I am very grateful for all the knowledge.
Right now I’m leaning toward a 1-8 of some kind. I’d use it for mule deer when I’m not using my Savage 116. I’ve shot all my deer really close, within 50 yards, but will practice with the BAR out as far as I can go with it. Thanks.
 
Take a look at the GPO SPECTRA 6x 1.5-9x44i
This riflescope includes DoubleHD objective lens technology, iCONTROL illumination, PASSIONtrac turrets, and a choice of a G4i or G4i-drop reticle. The turrets provide a 0.36-inch adjustment at 100 yards (or 0.1 mrad), granting an impressive 144 inches of adjustment range.

Thanks, that looks pretty good, I’ll add it to my list. I like that it has a simple reticle that still has hash marks for hold over, so I could start learning that.
