Remington 700 Police 26' Barrel Scope & Mount Question

[The Legion]

I have purchased a Remington 700 Police 26' Barrel in .308.  I have not purchased my scope yet, but looking at the Nikon M-308 4-16x42mm with 1' tube. If anyone has a better scope recommendation I would like to hear it.  The main area I am concerned with are scope mount options.  What mount would you suggest for this setup.  Distances I will be shooting will be between 200-600 yards.  Thank you.

My Rifle Set-Up:

Remington 700 Police 26' .308

Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16x44 VMR-1 MOA Riflescope

NightForce Direct Mount for Remington 700 Short Action .885 Low - 20 MOA - 30mm Tube

Kahntrol Solutions Clamp on Muzzle 

Here is the finish product.  I broke the rifle in yesterday and sighted it in at 200 yards.  I put the muzzle brake on today and I will go out again Monday and I will let you know if there is a difference in recoil with the muzzle brake. I the future I may have the barrel threaded for a screw on muzzle brake or suppressor. The Nightforce Scope mount fit perfectly so I did not have to do any bedding of the mount.

Are you a Vet or LEO?

If so, highly recommend their scopes.

I was about to say that he should consider vortex.. great optics IMO


Already have 1" rings? If not...Why not a 30mm tube then?

 

another in that price range:

This one has more elevation & windage if you do not use a 20+Moa base and want to go out past 600

Sounds good, I hope you went with the Vet discount on that scope, if not you'll kick yourself later.

Burris used to offer a 55% discount to LE and MIL. Haven't bought directly from them in years so no clue if they still do it.

That's a great gun I have a 700P in 308 myself, I have a GG&G base, rings with a 40mm Leopold, it will go out to 600yrds no problem.....work on the trigger next..

[MasterG_SP01]

That's a long a @$$ barrel. 26' (ft)?

Legion really likes to reach out and touch someone.

[The Legion]

Yes I do.

I received my Vortex Crossfire II in the mail yesterday, it will sit atop my .277 Wolverine AR with a 20" barrel.  Hope to reach out and touch some yotes and a deer or two with this puppy come hunting season.

It came with a hood (and a free T-Shirt) which always seemed to cost more to purchase with other brands.
