[QUOTE="LOBO, post: 70494, member: 1935"] I have a Tikka T3 in 300wsm. I used it last August in Raton NM to take a trophy antelope @ 452 yards. I am using a Leupold VX3 4.5-14X50mm scope with the B&C reticle. I put the 450 yard hash mark behind his shoulder and he dropped at the shot. Now, understand your hash marks aren't going to correspond eaxactly. Maybe a few inches high or low. Practice at my range is what gave me the confidence to make the shot. Are they worth it? Yes, if your willing to take the time w/ it to see where each hash mark corresponds at each range with your selected load. Adjustable objective scopes are still being made. Most, like the above mentioned Leupold have the parralax adjustment knob on the left side of the scope opposite your windage knob. [/QUOTE]
