    Ok, so budget no issue
    Range 200-1000m
    Not worried about weight
    Prefer FFP

    Does your rangefinder do both meter and yards, or one of them only ? If yards only, look at MOA scopes, if meters only, look at Mil scopes.
    Try to get something where the turrest match the reticle.

    Magnification wise 4-16 is 100% capable of 1000yd shots, I use a 12 power scope 6-24 range is nice if you don't have to do off-hand etc, and you can easily distinguish 1/2moa sized targets at 1000yds with reasonable glass.

    Bottom end price wise, have a play with Vortex FFP or Sightron S3 FFP, both decent scopes and good value for money.

    Top end: March, S&B, Nightforce etc (way out of my price range, so no experience other than having the occasional look thru one).
