I'm sure this has been discussed before, but if you had $700 to spend on a rifle scope combination for deer, what would it be?

Hunting mostly in the open, most shots would be between 100-250 yards.

H&R .35 whelen - $275
Leupold VXii 3-9x40 - $300

And now you're got a gun you can use during primitive season too. Zeroed at 200 yds, it will shoot 1.5" high at 100, 4" low at 250, and 8.8" low at 300.

Used model 70 Winchester then a scope way before a Remington academy special.

Academy sells sub par weapons.

Weatherby vanguard s2 .257 weatherby mag with a nikon scope. Pro staff or buckmasters. The gun is around $550 but if you shop around can probably get one cheaper. Good price for a gun that's guaranteed 1/2" moa. With that kind of accuracy you can shoot them in the head and never have to track them.
