    I use a Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 FFP. It wasn't cheap ($850-900), but for the features it'd be very tough to beat.

    My advice is to not skimp on optics, especially with a rifle that has as much potential as the 700. The lowest quality optic I'd use would be a Burris, and those aren't bad at all.

    Vortex Viper PA 6-20x50 here. Love that damn scope! Priced around $475 on eBay. One seller on eBay has taken down to $400...I've purchased 4 from him now.

    I have a Bushnell elite tactical 5-15x40 on my 700sps right now and am happy with it.

    I absolutely love my SWFA SS for $300 you can't beat the price. Glass is really good and the turrets track everytime as expected. There are quite a few reviews out there check them out at SWFA.com

    If you are on a tight budget,don't overlook a Tasco Varmint 6x24 scope......I know,the word Tasco makes everyone shiver,but for $100.00 or less they are a VERY good scope,my LGS sells a ton of them.....!
