For a school project I acquired a Steyr Pro Hunter SBS composite stock rifle in 7mm Rem Mag. The barrel needs crowning, it will also be threaded, and the stock will get a FDE Cerakote finish.
Currently it has no optic, or mounts. It is drilled and tapped, and anything for a Browning A-bolt will fit. This is my first potentially long range platform, and I'd like to build a modest distance gun while I'm using it as a Cerakote project.
Bases, or a rail? I'm assuming a rail, but thought I'd ask.
Also, What about an optic? I'm not spending more than $150 at this time. Konos seems to have some options that look well reviewed. I doubt I can afford a 1000yd scope, so what about 500yds? I don't know anything about optics just yet, but 4x14 was suggested.
I'd appreciate some advice that would work within these parameters. Thanks.
