Got to replace an old fogged Redfield 2 3/4 x scope on my Pump 30-06 Remington 760. Sight Iron wants $80 to repair and I think I should upgrade instead.

Looking for ideas on a low power fast pointing scope for this gun. I think I need good eye-relief about 5" - lots of scopes like the Leupold VRX have only +/- 4" relief.

Thought about red-dots but need at least 2-3 power to count points. AND these scopes are expensive. I'd like to stay under $500 even half that be better. A fixed or low power Variable may be the ticket.

ALSO I want the versatility of shooting Iron Sights if /when hunting in heavy snow or rain. Currently the gun has old Weaver pivot - (Dad calls them flip over) mounts which actually seem to work well in returning to zero. If I go with a removable type mount I think the bases may hide the iron sights?

Any suggestions would be great!

Thanx
