[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 444712, member: 24624"] The glass is great on this scope and the finer clicks are great if you have plenty of time to concentrate on all of that. However more than once while practicing, I turned them an extra rotation by accident and was deflated to see that he missed the target only to discover that one rotation (6 minutes) at 535 yds is ~33 inches and then right there in the tree trunk was a 3 inch group about 30 inches directly above the bull. The lesson I'm learning is that there are plenty of variables to worry with when hunting. So, you might as well eliminate the ones you can control. I'd love to trade up to NF. But, my budget is wearing thin. I've wasted lots of money on gimmicks and useless gadgets (especially reloading tools). I should probably sell one of my rifles and upgrade this scope. But, I have a personal attachment to each one. So, that'll have to wait for now. My advice to any newcomers would be to (1) commit to the quest early on, (2) research what it'll take, and (3) buy the right gear from the beginning. My problem is that our initial goal was to hit a 4x8 sheet of plywood at 1k. From there, the goals of grown loftier and we've had to re-purchase a lot of gear. e.g. upgrading from Nikon to Lieca range finder and from Lyman T-Mag to Forster Co-ax... [/QUOTE]
