I recently bought a ruger 223 to paper punch with out to 300 yards.The furthest I have shot in the past is 100 yards.So I would appreciate any guidance on a scope.My budget is 500$.I will slowly work up to 300 yards and that will take time.Thanks this board is always very helpful.
VR, Roger

Is this rifle used solely for shooting paper?? A fixed power SS comes to mind and it's under your stated budget.
Something like an SS 10x or 12x would be ideal, I would think.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

Then I again humbly suggest the legendary SS 10x or 12x, if you like.
I love fixed powers for paper punching. Simple, no fuss, no muss, and the SS has a rear or side focus to dial in. |

Definitely this. And use the money you saved on your budget to purchase good rings and ammo. Don't skimp on rings. Talley's would be a good choice. |
