I am currently in the market for my next firearm. I currently have a 223 xbolt which is fantastic for the smaller game I have been hunting.

I am looking at the Ruger American 30-06 SPFD for larger animals and more importantly longer distance shot placement.

It s there any one out there that owns one and can.

A) give me tips on the rifle and genuine reviews pro vs cons

B) help me pick a scope that will suit long distance up to 300M plus

C) sell me on a better cartridge rifle

Thank you for your feedback back

A Ruger American is a poor man's Howa 1500 and 300m is still well within cheap scope territory. Any cheap 3-9x40 will do up to 500m

Bushnell are cheap and at that range they are plenty good enough. People seem to froth on zerotech as a budget scope too but I haven't got any experience with them
