SS20x

Evan,
I shoot a SS20x on my long range gun. Hands down it is the best long range scope you are going to buy for $300. It has a huge amount of vertical and horizontal moa adjustment. (enough to allow me to shoot to 1200yds with a 6.5x284 without tapered bases or shimmed rings) It has served it's purpose well. BUT, remember, it's still a $300 scope. It's clear enough alright, we've shot groundhogs to 800yds on hazy 80deg days, shot deer with it to 742 in the snow at about 18degrees. It will do what you ask of it but it does not have the clarity of a Leupold (shooting side x side with Olspark it just doesn't) having said that, I would still recommend it if you're on a limited budget.

If you can afford a Leupold LR scope but just don't think you can justify it, you won't be dissappointed. I'm at the stage where I would love a Leupold but if I buy one for the 6.5, I'll have to build another gun for the SS to sit on
