[QUOTE="MachV, post: 626882, member: 93"] There is a 3-9 Sightron with midot on my 7mag=It works great to six hundred yards with 160 grain Partitions for most big game. I know your looking for precise but the gun is a factory MOA shooter and 9x is enough power and allows me to turn it down to 3x for close quarter work. The mildot while not precise does allow this unit to be used effectivly out to 600Yards, Zeroed @ 100 yards .5 mill @ 200 1 mill @300 1.4mill @ 350 1.7 @400 2.1 @450 2.5 @500 2.9 @550 3.3 @ 600 I have had a few different scopes on this rig over the years. 3-9 fine duplex Leupold=Good point plank scope but limited to 300 yards or so 16x IOR=Too heavy, too much power for close work But the MP-8 reticle is great! 4.4-14 Leupold with Boone and crocket reticle=Way too limiting on range @ 14x 3-9 Sightron with mildot just plain works for me=Light,simple and effective within the 600 yard limit of the gun.
