[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1594321, member: 95344"] Here's my thoughts for a 300-500 yard scope. Most hunting rifles will have a 200 yard zero so what around 9 inch drop at 300 yards depending on the cartridge/ load. After that you'd either dial in the dope, use a ranging reticle, or Kentucky windage. My rifle has around those range limitations and has a 2.5-8X VariXIII with premier Reticle Mildots SFP on it. 30-06 Model 70 pushfeed FWT so it's your basic hunting rifle, nothing special. I hit steel out to from 300 to 800 yards. I've never shot at big game over 125 yards but I've also hit small water bottles at 450 yards, I'd shoot varmints with it if the ricochets weren't so bad.
