Ok, it's been asked and answered a 100 times over, I know but it's a bit overwhelming for a noob. Also, if it should go in the optics forum MODs can move but I think this place gets more foot traffic.

A Ruger Precision Rifle is lacking from the gun collection so hopefully this spring I can pull the trigger on 6.5CM. (Honestly, my wife is more interested in getting into the precision game than me but it would be fun.)

So, I just scored a X-mas gift card for Amazon that gets me close enough to look for a scope. Looking at Burris or Vortex but the HST seems a bit closer in the price range of $500-1000 for me.
First, as a complete noob with no scope background other than an MTAC for 3Gun, the first question is MOA or Mil-dot. Seems per my research that the preference is Mil-Dot for this game.
Second, toss me some Amazon options in that price range and why. (I'm obviously leaning towards the HST https://www.amazon.com/Vortex-6-24x5...ex+hst+6-24x50 but I'll take recommendations)

Thanks and Merry Christmas!
