I just bought a Remington 700 in 270 WIN and am looking for optic recommendations. I am considering a Vortex 6-24 x 50, but I am concerned that it may be a little too much scope for the gun. It is definitely more than just your stock Remington 700 as you can tell by the pics, but I don’t want to over buy when it comes to the optic. Any recommendations on an optic and education about the round itself would be much appreciated.
I just want to learn how to shoot at distance with a relatively inexpensive to shoot caliber that can take me past 500 yards.
Punching holes in paper targets and banging steel is all this gun will be used for…
