Had a giftcard to academy, and picked up a Thompson Center Compass in 6.5. Will be used as a deer rifle when i hunt some long powerlines, and as a backup in kentucky for bean fields. I have several other riles, so this will not be a primary rifle.. just situational. Was wondering what magnification/size scopes you guys that have them already are usuing

I have a Leica 2-10x50 on my Bergara B14 HMR in 6.5 Creed. Love it.

I’ve always thought getting quality glass is more important than having a 50mm objective. Plus I prefer my scopes to ride high and the larger objective can require it depending on the rifle.
Got a Leupold VX3 3.5-10x by 40mm on my AR10. Does a great job and is super clear.

I have a gift card to use also and will
likely order the Ruger American in 6.5
I have a Nikon Scope in the safe that will top it.

lets be honest, that's gonna be a "guest gun" for when your buddy who doesn't hunt wants to try and kill something 
get a Prostaff 5 3.5-14 for $450 and be done with it. that'll be plenty

If you're really considering shots on whitetail deer to 500 yards, I'd first look at a variable w/ 12X-14X on top end and use a "bullet drop" type reticle. If the 12-14X scope isn't powerful enough after you've shot it some, I'd go to a 16X. Like bapple, I prefer 40 mm scopes, but I do have a few 44 mm scopes on varmint guns. I've got a 56 mm scope (came on a gun I traded for) on a varmint gun and it's so big it's ugly. 
And be sure you use a good scope base and rings I prefer Weaver 1 piece bases and Burris Signature Z Rings (the ones w/ the plastic inserts). To shoot at 500 yards, you may need to get a special base.

I bought a Leupold VX 3i in 4.5x14-50 with the Boone & Crockett reticle and 30mm tube for my .280AI build. This rifle will be used mostly for antelope hunting in Wyoming mostly.
I've killed deer at 462 (measured) with a 3x10-50 one inch tube VX3 using "Kentucky" elevation. I was across the hood of a Jeep and had a hunting coat under the gun.

The Savage Axis I bought for 199 had a Bushnell 3-9×40. I haven't shot it yet, but might take the Leopold VX1 2-9×33 off my Handi for it.
