So I just picked up a Remington 700 SPS in .308 and am working on getting it set up for my needs.
Lets say we have a $2,000.00 budget for glass. I want to buy ONE really good glass for it that can be used on other guns in the future.
This gun will be used in the woods for hunting and at the range. Someday years down the road I "may" get to the point where I venture out to the 800-1000 yard range and would like to use the same scope.
This is what I am looking at as a good blend between practical hunting magnifications and long range magnifications.
I like the size of the scope because it will be used for hunting also and I don't want a scope that is HUGE. Once again this may not always be on top of the 700 it may be on top of the 1894, or 10/22, or 7.62X39 bolt gun.

What say you INGO? If you have better recommendations I would love to hear it.
Also having NEVER shot that distance before is the 18 power enough in the future?
I know people are going to say save your money and get a Vortex for less.
I currently have 3 Vortex and to be honest I don't think they live up to the fanboy response they are getting.
