That’s a good point, Thomas! Starting simple can help you learn and appreciate what features you want in a scope later on. Makes the upgrade decision less daunting!
Funny how we all have our favorites! Just remember, at the end of the day, it’s about shooting skills too, not just the gear. Keep it light and enjoy the hunt!
When choosing a scope for your Remington 700, consider the mounting options carefully. A one-piece base is a great choice for stability. I’ve had success with Talley mounts.

Absolutely agree! A solid base prevents issues in accuracy. Has anyone tried the Vortex products with their 700?
Vortex scopes are fantastic! Just make sure you’re using high rings if you have a large objective lens to avoid clearance issues. Compatibility is key!
That’s a good point! What do you think about the Leupold mounts? Are they worth the price?

Leupold mounts are reliable, though a bit pricey. They offer excellent durability. But it might not be necessary for all models. What’s your main application for the scope?
I’m primarily using it for hunting. Would you suggest any specific models that do well with that?
For hunting, a mid-range scope with good light transmission is ideal. Check out the Nikon ProStaff line; they mount easily and perform well under various conditions.
Nikon ProStaff is solid! But how do they compare with something like Zeiss in terms of clarity?

Zeiss scopes are undeniably clear, but Nikon provides great value for the price. It really depends on your budget and whether you prioritize clarity over cost.
I love how this topic evolves. Budget—always the killer! But clarity during those early morning hunts feels priceless!
