Honestly don't even know what model because my Dad was at the LGS and saw it, called me and said it looked really clean and told me the price (less than 600....). I told him to have the owner put it back and I'd be up Friday to pay for it.. Even had the original McMillan box with the $502 sales receipt in the box..... I figured there is no way I can loose money on it.... Anyhow, any recommendations for a good middle of the road towards higher end scope for it? I have a couple Leupolds and a couple Vortex that I like, but figured with the caliber, I might for 12x range with either dials or BDC. Just looking for ideas. Also, anything to look out for, never owned a Sako before.

I’m huge fan of 2-10 but there have been times I wish I had little more top end when shooting target past 500 yards.. Anyways. Look at the tract scopes as they are having a sale and even some scopes in outlet. Their bdc is simple and effective but I prefer dial for shots past 400 yards. All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Lots of good options there between Leupold, Zeiss, Meopta. I've got some of each and especially like my old Meopta Artemis 2000, it's great in low light. Doug at Cameraland had some on sale a few weeks ago. Being a holiday weekend it should be good for finding deals.

ReadyRob Campfire Greenhorn Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 69 Marietta, Ga.	Last season, I bought a Meopta Meopro 4.5-14x44 for my new Tikka 7mm mag. Absolutely one of the finest scopes that I have ever bought. My other scopes are Kahles and Zeiss victory and the Meopta can easily keep up with both in glass quality. Perfect magnification for long range. Smoked a nice Muley at 350 yards and it was perfect. War Damn Eagle!

I have several of these in both versions and they are fantastic imo. Some people are educated beyond their intelligence.
