[QUOTE="britz, post: 216782, member: 7865"] Need more information, what cal, load are you shooting?? Big difference between a 338 Allen Mag and a 45-70 and a 17 hmr. Scopes vary from brand to brand and modle to model for how much adjustment they have. Your Lupy's Mark IV and Long range target scopes will give you lots of adjustment. Nightforce will too, but these are all in the 1000 to 1700 dollar mark (I think they all have someware between 80 and 120 MOA). On the other hand, Nikon Buckmaster 3-9 has 80 MOA, but the 6-18 has only 40 (generally speaking, as the power goes up, the adjustment goes down - or you have to pay big bucks to get the adjustment increased by upgrading brands). Most Optics manufacuters will list the specs of their products on their webpages. So you can do some picking and choosing. No offense, but if you are new to it, maybe try focusing on something like 500 to 800 yards first. It really takes a lot of tallent and years of practice to make reliable 1000 yard shots.
