Scope for a 7mm PRC

[JoeSoap]

What is a good practical scope (magnification/objective lens size) for a light weight back country 7mmPRC? Covering perhaps 100-500/600yrd…

I realize this is a bit of an open ended question, but just trying to get some opinions to formulate a direction between magnification and weight where you are lugging it around …maybe a 3x15 or 4x20???

Thx.

I had a 4x20 on my 300wm for LD shooting so keeping that LD concept with a 7prc more is better

I just bought a 4-20 VX5 fire dot Leupold for a 6.5 PRC. I will get the CDS once I get a load sorted

Just used a 3-15 and 2-12 with the CDS in Africa on PG and it worked awesome. Made several 300 yard shots off of sticks. Fire dot really helped. Aim small, etc. Practicing beforehand also helped.

Frequently was in open savannah so there was no getting closer. Too many eyes watching.

I’m a big fan of keeping your magnification low enough to help in spotting impact. With that in mind, I have a Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x42 on my 7mm PRC and would pick the same thing if I were building again. While I target practice regularly, my self-imposed limit is may be lower than some at 500ish yards. Longest shot to date was a vervet monkey at 378 but it was more than enough scope for that and still witness the monkey somersaulting out of the treetop after the hit.

Similar but not the same but this is my backpack rifle-28 nosler with. Swarovski 3.5-18x44. Fits the rifle nicely and not bulky /heavy and swaro quality.
