[QUOTE="RangerBrad, post: 492031, member: 29387"] Thank you gentlemen, That is exactly the kind of info I was looking for. I was also considering the Night Force NXS. As for the swaro range finder what makes it more accurate and dependable than the leica? I know the g7 range finder is not out yet but I have a few months to find out if they are all their supposed to be. If they are , I would think they would be the cats meow for long range hunting. I also have access to a Leica and lepold rf till I decide. As for rifles I am having one built now (25-06) by Don Mongold of Bullseye Precision Tools of Fort Smith Ar. Who has built several sniper rifles and long range rifles for government hunters in Africa. He assures me this rifle will be well inside 1/2" at 100yds. Probably next year will purchase a custom in stock or build rifle in 300 win mag or greater. I will be using the 25-06 this year for large game and moving onto the larger round the next year and return the 25-06 to it's task of killing yotes and such. My hunting style will vary greatly. Deer season in Arkansas, I'll be hiking and glassing bug kill areas on opposing mountains. Oklahoma will find me driving and glassing open ranch land with short stalks to get into position. Out west could be any combination. During march and throughout the year as the feeling comes over me I'm simply watching large fields for pigs to come out in the evenings. The long range equipment will be used for deer and larger game(we plan on elk and have been discussing caribou) and pigs occasionally. Range on these can vary greatly but, feel shots could be held to 1200yds or less. Far less in most cases as deer can be found in the 600-700yd range commonly on the ranches near where I grew up in Oklahoma. With this in mind would a 338 be best or would the 300 win mag fit the bill? I aapreciate yals replies. This is exactly the kind of input I'm looking for. Brad [/QUOTE]
