[QUOTE="Dgutter, post: 575658, member: 32130"] I have a .25-06 that I've been handloading for and have been wanting to stretch its range out a bit. I have yet to shoot an animal past 200yds but currently practice out to 300yds. I have attempted 600yd shots (on plywood) with not so good results. I have a simple duplex reticle and don't trust my scope enough to dial. So what do you do? Do you hold for elevation and wind? And if you do, do you have a mil-dot (or equivalent) reticle? Or do you dial? If so, do you have mil-dots (or equivalent) as well? Also, what would you suggest to a guy on a limited budget for scopes? Should I just go with a simple mil-dot scope and just hold for everything? Should I get something that allows me to dial? Or both? I would most likely never shoot past 600yds but if I felt capable I would like to try some 1000yd target shots. This is primary rifle (actually my only at the moment) and use it for everything from bobcat up to large whitetails. Thanks, Jason [/QUOTE]
