[QUOTE="Snowbird, post: 1040643, member: 87588"] jaybo, i appreciate you taking the time to relay your experiences. I took no offense to your post and read it as intended. I'm looking for a setup that will handle the distances you described. I'm a meat hunter and don't really take many animals. those that i do take i wan't to take cleanly at reasonable distances for my skill level, which is why i'm on here learning. I did purchase a vortex pst 4-16x50 after getting a good tip on a great price. it is a second focal plane but that is ideal for my current use. With the current load shooting 3/8" groups at 200 yards i hope to get some practice in mountain settings at the distances i plan to hunt. if I ever come up with some extra cash i may look into a lite weight setup like you've mentioned. [url=http://www.christensenarms.com/products/bolt-rifles/carbon-summit-rifle/]SUMMIT CARBON - Christensen Arms[/url] This in a 300 RUM would fit the bill. I just wouldn't be able to pay the bill.:D Wildrose, for the time being i'll have to make a stepping stone to get get there. I hope the viper does a good job for a couple years and i can step up to a nightforce. until i get some experiences of my own i'll have to rely on other peoples and make a few mistakes of my own along the way. Unfortunately, experience is something you get just after you needed it. I'm excited to get into the sport this spring and learn a lot from this place. Thanks, Seth [/QUOTE]
