Reasonable Practice rifle scope

[DFWshooter]

So I’m setting up a practice rifle in 6.5CM. What’s a decent/good scope I can use to shoot steel out past 500 yds? Ideally out to 1,000. I prefer a more precision reticle in mils. Budget around $500. Thanks.

Swfa 3-9 or 10x or 3-15 if you bump your budget some

Thanks. My buddy is steering me towards those too. He suggested the 12x. I think the 3x15 is $750 new. Is that a good deal?

Don’t get the 12x. I’d suggest a second hand 3-15 or a 10x Milquad if you want something available now and works great. I have two of them
