So many options!!

Yea, that too. It would be easier if I could check them out in hand. I found one I liked, and the first review was something about how it broke immediately. That was a Vortex. I want a W & E graduated reticle, like a mil-dot, but some are way too cluttered. It is definitely a process.

Do u plan on using the Mildot reticle? First focal or second focal plane?

I do some coyote hunting, and those ranges are longer. First, from what I read. Not really a well schooled on optics. Learning as I go....

If you hunt coyotes at night I would go second focal plane. Reticle can get lost at night if they are too thin or small.
For me, I use a first focal plane optic on my current deer rifle but I picked something with a illuminated reticle for closer range.

The first is supposed to be less distorted?

No first focal plane reticle will change size when dialing the magnification ring. Better than I can explain below lol
An Official Journal Of The NRA | First Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane?
A riflescope’s reticle is placed in either the first focal plane (FFP) or the second focal plane (SFP). The main difference between them is that an SFP reticle will appear to be the same size regardless of magnification. With an FFP reticle, the size of the reticle will appear to change as the...

I bought the FX1000, p/n 16513. I paid a dollar less for it than the rifle it is going on. A nice little package the two of them will make.

Glad my link helped out. Eurooptics ships fast. I normally get my stuff in about 2-3 days.

You bet! A $750 scope for $400! I will go for that! Hopefully there is nothing wrong with it. Just have to get bases and rings, and some little extras and it will be a complete package for what I want it for. I got a super deal on the rifle and the scope, so I am good with the combo.

U could give them a call and they would probably know what size ring you need. Kyle and Jason are very helpful there.

Congrats on the 700P! there are certainly a lot of upgrade options to suit your needs. I have been down the Remington 700 rabbit hole before and ultimately wish I would have done things differently. The best advice i can give you is to buy quality glass, and leave everything else stock. A good optic is the most crucial part of the equation. Shoot the absolute piss out of it, and figure out what's working and what isn't. after you have a couple thousand rounds through it, make decisions on what you want differently. Congrats, and get out and shoot!
