Fellow shooters,

I am looking to get a BDC(Bullet Drop Compensator) scope for a rifle. I don't deer hunt much so I am not spending a ton of money for a setup. The max I intend on shooting is 300 yards. I have been surfing the net with no results in sight.

Rifle in question is a 7mm-08
Sighting in at 100 yeards. Longest range that is close to me.

My questions are these:

Does the scope comes with a ballistics guide or some sort?
Every bullet is different, so how do you go about getting one?
Obviously a 30-06 would drop different than a 7mm-08 if I am thinking straight.

I was thinking about getting a Nikon Buckmasters BDC scope(again for the money).

Please do not hammer me with "why buy cheap?" or anything of that nature. I just really want to know how they work according to each caliber.

Thanks guys.
