Just ordered a Savage 10FPRS .308 threaded barrel
http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/p...8+THREADED+BBL

But now I need a scope, I'm looking for recommendations. I have up to 450 to spend on it, it would be used primarily for target shooting and hopefully some hog/deer hunting, no long range competition shooting or anything. I can't really see myself shooting over 500 yards (not at first anyway).

I am considering this, http://www.midwayusa.com/product/950...la=ProductDesc

I always hear about spending the cost of the rifle on glass, or twice the cost, etc.

This is "cheap" but has great reviews, I'm just curious if spending the whole 450 would result in a significantly better scope or pissing money away.

Also, other than ammo, if there are any other must have accessories let me know.

Thanks!
