what scopes are suitable for 100 yards and engaging targets at 1000 yards?

I know IOR is one, but I'd like one with removeable turrets so that I Can custom order BDC turrets from kenton industries.


any others aside from US optics?

yeah, a good bit...

mueller will get you out to 1000. Leupold makes several. So does nikon.

It'll help a good bit if you tell us the caliber and the drop at 1000 yards so we can help you calculate it.

Yes, the caliber & loading is required, and also whether a canted base will be used.

For 308, I generally recommend at least 60 MOA if you plan to be able to go from 100 to 1000 using a 20 MOA canted base.

308 out of a 20 inch barrel. not sure of the precise drop.




I was looking at the Nightforce scopes with the 110 moa elevation and 80 moa windage.

The Nightforce 12-42x56 Benchrest was used by Kyle Brown to set the 1,000 yard world record group ( 10 shots at 4.22 inchs ). That is a good scope as well.

That is a bench rest scope though, if you want a "field" scope they make the 12-42x56 NXS which is just as good if not better from what i read on there website.

I think I'm going with the 3.5-15x scope. I've spoken with someone else concerning it and zeroing. He says it can be zeroed at 100 and shot out to 1000.

 

[mele]

With 110 MOA of elevation, you will have no problems zeroing at 100 and 1000. You only need about 60 using a 20 MOA base.

what about 100moa on elevation but only 60 moa of windage? would that still work or would I be SOL?

 

[mele]

60 MOA on windage will get you to 1000 yards in a nearly 30 mph crosswind either direction with the .308. If you can hit a target at 1000y in a 30 mph crosswind reliably, you are a better marksman than myself!

I've seen mel shoot thats not much of an accomplishment. LOL

Hell i've been known to drop deer at 1000 yards with buckshot in a hurricane.
