[QUOTE="scottyboy, post: 1268417, member: 91491"] Once, preferably :) my wife asked me when I started this venture "how many more times are you going to say you are finally satisfied with your setup". Well, this will be attempt 3 for me since Jan 2016 for a rifle/scope :rolleyes: (full disclosure I didn't put much..if any, thought into my previous setups. More of a impulse...ohhh shiny object, look at that CA carbon gun looks fun, ohh look something new and exciting from vortex etc) Toddc - I had a NXS on another rig and I managed to bump/move the windage turret while chasing dogs, which equated to hitting a little further back than I was aiming, but on a coyote it really didn't much matter as he died either way. But that experience (lesson learned) made me gun shy about it happening again when i am much more mobile in the mountains. Yes I know that good practice/habit should learn me to check that as well, but being completely honest it's just one more thing I would rather not do when the time comes in the field. Thank you by the way for all that info, take away is that you personally feel 16x is OK for 1k, which I appreciate the feedback on. [/QUOTE]
