Are there any reasonably priced scopes for the Remington 700 R5 Milspec.

Thinking about the BUSHNELL 6-24x40 ELITE 4200 MOA DOT MATTE.

What is your price limit, and what do you intend to do with the rifle?

This scope has the same glass as the scope I just bought. This is a 3.5x10x50 Vortex Viper and I would not hesatate for a second on buying one for deer hunting. This scope also carries a life time warrenty. I have to say it is the best glass I have ever looked through and could not be happier with my scope. here is a link to it and give Doug at Camera Land a call seeing as you are a member here he will help you out with the price also. ;D Take care Dale

I have the 20x on my Model 700, and the 10x on a Tikka T-3.
My Bud has the 10x on his R-5.
They all shoot great with them.

Hmmm am I missing something?

Silly me thought you could fit any scope you like  ::) or does thsi "£special" rifle need a special scope?

Interesting to see that Remington are using rifling like the old Enfields  ;)

Nope you can put any ole junker on them. My bud started with a Burris, then a Simmons, then a Vortex.

None of them got tighter than 2 MOA. He is .5 MOA now.
