[QUOTE="sscoyote, post: 260601, member: 1133"] UB, sounds like u're playing with some nice rigs there. I would also stay simple for big game out to 350 yds. This is not hard to accomplish really with any of the cartridges listed above. 7-08 and 260 Remington would also work well enuf for u, and less recoil to be concerned about, especially if u're not reloading. I would go right to the 2-7x or 3-12x Burris also with Ballistic Plex reticle, and if u get the 3-12x Burris u'll need to practice more with it since @ 12x the FOV is about as critical as i would use in the field. Vertical trajectory is gonna have to be compensated for once u get beyond 300 yds. anyway no matter what cartridge u use, and the big issue will be windage since it's a lot more of a guess than bullet drop. They don't have a laser for windage although there are some gizmos that help somewhat. [/QUOTE]
