Average shot distance is 600-800 yards with a few times crowding the 1000 yard mark. To get to this area is all on horseback in the dark. I am looking for a scope that holds up to wet rainey conditions, and hopefully that the dials wont get bumped off in and out of the scabbard, and has the repeatability in the elevation knob that is needed for long range work. Im an older guy and really do not want to use a ballistics calculator prior to shot so the huskemaw looks interesting. The zeiss z1000 is probably out as the lines are so thin for a hunting senerio in the dim light conditions unless i go for the lighted version. I kinda thought it would be nice to have a set of turrent caps made for one load. One about 7000 feet and another for about 2000 feet above sea level. What have you-all found to be repeatable reliability as well as the weather proofness of the Huskemaw or vortex, or other brands? I have several luepolds and know all about those as well as the cdx system. Have a couple of night forces and those are way too big for scabbard work, the lines too fine for quick 100-200 yard shots in the forest. Im looking for opinions here. thanks in NM ]]> Long Range Scopes and Other Optics oprod http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/scope-repeatability-60691/ http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/leupold-cds-vs-boone-crockett-60660/ Fri, 03 Sep 2010 16:31:17 GMT I have a nice .338 WM I am adding a new scope to.

Done my research and determined that a Leupold VX-3 3.5-10x40mm is what I am looking for.

Leupold has the free CDS dials if I pull the trigger before 12/31/10. However, I am going back and forth between CDS or just getting the Boone & Crockett reticle and calling it good. My .338 is a hunting rifle with LR for me defined as 300+ with a max range of 600. Or course I'll need lots of practice with the new scope, but wanted to let you guys know the intended use.

With the CDS dials you send them your load data and they make you a custom dial. I often shoot at low elevations and hunt at high elevations. What is the impact of elevations on my groups and how can I adjust if the dial is set for a specified elevation?

Any and all info would be appreciated!

I have been interested in long range handgun hunting for a long time and have made the decision to move it along. I have a TC Encore with .30-06 barrel now, and looking to add 2 more soon. The .30-06 has a 15" barrel I want to use with a shoulder holster for hunting on my feet, the next two will be primarily used for stationary hunting at longer ranges. I'm very new to this and have a lot to learn. So as I put the first step forward please feel free to help me make these steps. I would be interested in schools or workshops/seminars for learning shooting skills at long range.
