I have a remington model 710 .270 that i have had for 2 years. I want to put a new scope on it. It has the scope that came on it i believe it is a cheap bushnell. I want to upgrade it and i am looking at spending under/around 200 for the scope. I have done some reading and what not and a few i have been looking at are simmons aetec, bushnell elite 3200(fast focus), leupold rifleman, leupold vx I, nikon buckmaster, nikon prostaff to name a few i have read about and what not. I want a 3-9x power (atleast) i think because ilive in south dakota where it is fairly wide open and i dont hunt in dense brush generally. i would really like to stay at or under 200. I plan on investing in a spotting scope (or binoculars) also before deer season. Also do i need to get other stuff to mount it like rings and what not and what would work with my model 710? thanks guys
