[QUOTE="MachV, post: 443551, member: 93"] Have splashed dirt on many prairie dogs past 1500 yards over the years but have always been hindered by conditions, power, ellivation and most importantly by consistancy.......Different rounds,guns,bullets,scopes and recording results or lack there of! Like BB said a good spotter and recording all relitive info on every shot will speed up the process a LOT!! First round hits for me have always been challenging but if I can see where the first one went=The second round was usually very close......But a prairie dog is a small target To answer your scope question though if you can turn it up to @ least 20x, it has enough real travel to get you there and the clicks are repeatable you've got a good start! I really like my 16X and 6-24x IORs(great glass) BUT 16x is a little lite for 1500 yards and the 6-24s(just like the br NF) dont have the lift to get there without useing a 40 base and the reticle. lightbulbGood spotter and great recordslightbulb PS Got a Wild range finder, make at least a fair spotter, have a 338 Edge in the works and know a couple of good rock killing places 1/2 way between usgun) [/QUOTE]
