Remington 700 SPS Tactical shooting at 200m in rapid fire part 2


Can you help me decide on a scope and accessories for my new gun?

I just purchased a Remington 700 VLS. I am probably going to buy a 3x9x40 Burris Fullfield II rifle scope. My main problem is that I'm trying to decide on if I need to spend the extra money on a x50 or if I should stick with the 40. How much of a difference is there? Also with that scope and gun, what rings and mount should I purchase for them?
I've decided on the 3x9x40 so I can afford some other basic necessities. The main thing I need to know is what scope rings and mounts do I need for this scope to fit my gun properly?

The larger the objective lens diameter, the more light that can enter the scope giving you a brighter image. The 50mm objective lens will produce a brighter image then the 40mm one. The 40mm might hinder your low light shooting where as the 50mm will help. The 50mm lens will also give you slightly more field-of-view.

I personally don't think a 50mm is needed. If it's too dark, I don't shoot. The 40mm will mount lower and catch on less brush. Go to a store that sells those scopes (or any scope for that matter), and look through two scopes of the same brand and model with a 40mm and 50mm lens. Compare the brightness that the two different size lenses produce. See for yourself if a 50mm objective lens is worth the extra $ to you.

This has an example of two images as seen through two different objective lens sizes:

Like Old Fuzz said, getting some Burris rings and a Burris base won't be a bad idea. If not Burris, get Leupold. Just make sure you match the rings with the scope tube diameter. I recommend 1-piece steel bases. They less pieces you can get away with the less chances of having a problem with accuracy. Tighten the base screws into the rifle's receiver with some medium strength Loctite Threadlocker.
