In my opinion, shoot your rifle and learn your rifles abilities via your shooting ability. Kind of taunting the USMC creed "this is my rifle........" at any rate with a budget scope (basically all scopes under 2k for the most part) are not gonna give you the MOA desired for true long range shooting without adding a lot of gizmos and gadgetry to your weapon. Find a better scope like from schmidt and bender for example.... expensive, however, high quality reticle design lots of elevation MOAs and windage. As said before, you still really need to hone your shooting to the rifle and the intended ammo round desired. Practice makes perfect. The 308 is an example that peters out around 600 yards with basic instruments and factory loads. With the extra expense of high quality optics and HOT hand loads that wont foul your chamber and bbl prematurely, I was shooting out to 1200 yards with my 308. I say was because I gave my 308 retirement and adopted the 6.5 creedmoor in its place. I shoot the grendel for inside of 300 yards for reduced recoil and ethical kill shots but I would not hesitate a shot out to but no more than a 1k on coyotes. Good luck, I am sure by now you got your stuff together
