[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 581282, member: 30902"] Well... the 300 Rum will do what you want and do it economically. Is a .338 Rum or other super .338 mag going to do it better at a 1,000yds? Sure it will but there's an enormous number of factors that are even more important than bullet weight. Put a Sendero Taper or slightly less on a 28" barrel, and get an ultra match quality Krieger, Shilen, Brux or other high quality barrel and you'll have the best of all worlds and still be able to shoot more economically. The scope you have is a good one. It's major limitations compared to the NF or Mark 4's is that it won't give you quite as much time in low light situations and has less adjustability but you've offset that with the 20 MOA rail so it's a wash. I went to 50mm Obj's and 30 and 35mm tubes on my latest round of scopes but I did just fine with the Conquests for many years. [/QUOTE]
