Rem 700 scope recommendations

I have the same gun, black stock blued barrel. I have a burrris 3x9x50 on it. I cant even count the deer i have taken with this gun. It is deadly accurate to 300 yards, an although i have more expensive rifles, it is by far my favorite.

I debated between the Vortex Viper PST and the Weaver, but really preferred the reticle in the PST. It is the 4-16x50 FFP mil/mil and it came in to my dealer (Liberty Optics) this week. I should have it by Monday and will finally be able to get it mounted next week. I'll let you know what I think when I get it as I have never had one in my hands.

Tell him to go with nightforce or leupold, in that order.

Since his budget is 1k, then I would go with a Leupold. Look hard and you may find a nice M1 or M3 3.5-10 at a good price.

I like my NF's, have one M3 Leupold on a short gun, doesn't hinder me at all. Although I could afford it, the ceiling for me is a NF. I can't see the difference with the higher end scopes to justify the 1K or so difference. I guess that's what the under 1K crowd says to me

But in my opinion, there is a difference in a Leupold and a NF.

Have you ever looked through Nikon glass? IMO its up there with Leupold. You can pick them up for under 5 bills for a nice scope. Also, I wouldnt go with anything above a 12x. You dont need it and its a pain in the ass finding your target if you dont know what youre doing.

A 3x9 or 4x12 would be perfect for putting rounds in paper
