Long range scope

Morning guys,
I would like to get back into long range shooting, on a tight budget though.
What scope would you recommend in the R8000 class? I don't think I need a 20x or 32x scope. 4-16 should be ok as long as it tracks 100%.
Will be mounted on a 308 for 1000m shooting.
Regards
George

The HS LR is a bit cheaper than the Vortex PST which is a dedicated long range tactical scope. You loose a few features in the HS LR, but you still end up with a lot of scope for your buck and a decent long range option.

It's got 75 MOA internal elevation adjustment and should track 100%. One feature I do not really like is the 1/2 MOA elevation per click adjustments. These are a bit course for my liking.
Hi Ludwig,
This looks good will google for some reviews.
Thanks
George
