Need opinions on this set up

I have to totally disagree with this comment. I have a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22X. The holdovers are only accurate at 22X which is too much on a hot day. The mirage is awful. I was told I should get the 15X when I purchased my scope, but I thought I needed the extra power. I really wish I would have listened. My next scope will be the 3.5-15X FFP scope from Nightforce. 10X will easily get you to 1000.

I know many people who shoot long range with the 15X Nightforce. It's plenty.

Agreed - M24's came with McMillan 2.5-10x when they were delivered to us. and then the 300 winmag AI came with a NF 3-15x

Plus our M107 only had a 12x on it

as for the rem 700 sps.
I have one- its a great rifle for the price, and 500 is 100 below the retail of 599 and you don't have to pay tax.

So yeah, i would get it.

As noted it is not a smoking deal but it is not a bad deal.
It will be a great setup to "cut your teeth" on for some distance work and decide if it is something you want to get deeper into.
Spend your money on ammo and go have fun!
