Scope for 6.5 Creedmoor

[jbisdlov]

I am in the process of building a 6.5 Creedmoor with my Savage .243. I want to be able to shoot long range out to 1k yards. This will be my first long range rifle. What would be good scopes for long range to match this?

[mdram]

might want to mention a budget for folks to narrow it down

Best bang for your buck: Primary Arms 3-18. It's not super premium, it's not TASCO. It's a lot of scope for the money.

I agree with Popeye212, Buy the Athlon at that price. I paid $700 for mine about two years ago and was happy with my purchase. At $425, it's a no brainer.

I put Leupold 4 screw permanent on my Creed. The Grrr has a Midas 4.5X27 on a Burris Pepr mount.

I also have the ares BTR bought it around $560 this spring and have been extremely happy with it. at sub 500 I may pick up another.

jbis,

What's your budget?

[VASCAR2]

If your going to shoot the 6.5 Grendel to 1000 yards you might need a 20 MOA mount unless your at high elevation. Not sure about needing a 20 MOA in 6.5 CM but prices are usually the same for 0 cant mount so I usually buy the 20 MOA.

Thanks for the link brother. BTR on the way.

Another vote for the Athlon scopes. I have been super happy with my Midas TAC on my Bergara HMR.

I have a Nightforce 8-32x56 on my Savage 12LRP. 3” groups w/Sierra 142g MK handloads.

It depends on what you want to be shooting. Target or hunting or both? If both then I'm going to suggest the SWFA SS 3-15x42. There have also many good scopes you will find in this article- https://ioutdoorpursuit.com/6-5-creedmoor-scopes/ which are works great with 6.5 Creedmoor.
Hope it will helps
