[QUOTE="apache sniper, post: 688049, member: 48168"] One of the best and least expensive scopes for long range is the 6x24 leatherwood art scope or the M1000 if you are shooting something less than a .338 win mag. Respectively the 6 by 24 is a no math mildot system that reaches out to 1200 without adjusting for elevation and the M1000 to 1000 yards without elevation. is all you have to do is read the wind. Have fun! Snipers of my day were experimenting with trying to equal Carlos Hathcocks 2400 yard one shot kill. Unlike the modern snipers he shot no sighters after his initial ranging. Course nobody can compare to Carlos he was and still is the best in my opinion but we sure have fun trying!! personally my longest head shot was a little over 1400 yards.(I still think it was luck) I had a friend years ago that was a Marine scout sniper in the Nam that could regularly hit head shots as far away as 1200 consistently at 60 plus yrs old. I wish I could still shoot that well!! Aw well practice practice practice I hope you load your own!!! I am experimenting with a 338 win mag I feel confident that it will be a 2000 yard shooter when I finally get my new mounts made. By the way I make custom windage adjustable mounts (weaver style) adjustable to 40 moa or so either way if you ever have trouble with badly drilled scope mounts. [/QUOTE]
