Ok guys. Somebody please school me on scopes and make a reasonable recommendation under 250 bucks if possible.
My eyes are not what they used to be and I need to put a new scope on my old 700BDL 30-06 bolt action. Currently have an old cheapo Tasco that won't hold zero. I also Use a 30-30 and and M1 both with iron sights for having fun and keep my shotgun open sighted as well.
Not a big target shooter and small plate accuracy seems to kill things just fine. I hunt in various states on family and extended family land and farthest shot will likely be about 200 yards tops.
Lots of options out there and I don't want to over buy for something that only takes a couple deer a year and this year a hog (hopefully).
I will likely buy a good set of rings too if recommended.
Thanks in advance.
