[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 1040985, member: 46742"] Thanks Snowbird, looks like you already have the long range rifle as long as it holds true at long distance. One thing someone told me here once was just because a production rifle shoots tight groups at 100 and 200 yards does not mean it will automatically shoot proportionately at long range. I wish you luck on that. I have read good things about the Vortex but have not looked through them. I am sure it will do the job for you. I agree with Wildrose on the glass though. If the opportunity allows it and you get top quality glass the only reason you will be sorry is because you won't be satisfied with anything less after that. Wildrose, I know I have a lot to learn, I just don't have the time or place to do it so I have to be content with 500 yards or maybe 700 under ideal conditions. I admire those that can take a trophy animal beyond those distances. What I meant by not having any business taking game at that range is someone like myself that shoots out to 700 yards then stretches it out to 1000 and rings steal a few times under ideal conditions and thinks he can take a shot like that at a trophy animal in a hunting situation. It should not be done. In my humble opinion. :) [/QUOTE]
