[QUOTE="Herky, post: 377110, member: 23892"] Hello out there, What a great site. I've already learned a bunch, but know that I've just scratched the surface. I'm a long time hunter, but am just beginning some precision/longrange hunting research and acquisitions. I don't currently reload but I plan to start. I'm looking at a fairly large outlay in the beginning considering the reloading equipment, new rifle, and new optics. My budget on the rifle/scope combo is about $3k. I'm leaning heavily towards the NightForce 3.5-15x50. My biggest question now it what to put the scope on. This is where I could use some group input drawing on your experiences and research. Right now the top three contenders are all .300 win mags. I have a entry level .308 that will fill that need...for now. I'm looking for some long range targets and more importantly an elk, black bear, etc. size caliber. From the research I've done, I'm pretty happy with that choice but will listen to all input. So what do you think about these?
