The rifle is a Savage 112 Target. Longest shot I would prob be looking at is around 500 yards. Hunting would be mule deer, elk and whitetail

Not trying to skimp on optics, but budget is what it is. Living on fixed income ain't fun, but doable.

I did some trading to get this rifle from a buddy. It's never been shot. Came with 60 rounds of Hornady Match 250 grain ammo.

It does have one of the Burris Eliminator 3 scopes on it. But it's big, bulky and seems complicated to use and set.
I'm old school and think a standard scope would serve me better. Could be wrong, usually am.
