[QUOTE="gamehauler, post: 180517, member: 9720"] Thanks' First, I am not trying to build a gun so I can (try) to harvest a critter at say 600yds. I am doing this so that I (could) if I had too. The Az Game and Fish Dept is on this kick to provide hunting oppertunity instead of quality hunts which really means they are moving the hunts out of the Rut and into other times of the year so they can put more hunters into the field with having the same harvest numbers. So to be a succesful hunter with the increase in hunter #'s I have to us what ever tools I can to beat the other guys. so if I CAN make a clean shot at 600 versus taking an hour to get within 300 and have it shot out from under me I want to be able. I have 2 daughters that love to hunt and been very successful and yes they can out shoot me. Their model 7 now tots a 30MM Burris and just does not have the light gathering of my Nikon, so my thougt of putting it on the 7. they have both taken Cow Elk (and several other critters) with the 7MM-08 but the last 2 years my youngest has used my 7Mag to take 2 Bulls so 1 long range, BIG game gun will work for all of us. As a little side note. We passed up a 380" Bull that we were after opening morning because he was pushing the 400yard mark and she/I had never shot that far before. I do not want that to happen again. Can I put turrets on my Buckmaster and what would that cost? Would it track well or would this just be more money out the window? That would be fine with me till I can step up to the big pump. The trigger is set at 2#, that was a typeo when I said 4#. I do have a Versa Pod with a mount on both guns. Thanks again for the input, Mike [/QUOTE]
