[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1068993, member: 33822"] Good feedback on the 4-14x56 SHV. Thanks for posting that up. Also interesting to hear how far many of you have shot elk. I might be wrong, but it seems that very few guys have taken elk past 800 yards. I only bring it up because I wonder how many opportunities any of us really have beyond those distances. So many variables and you always want to have to capability to reach out a long ways, but to save weight I wonder if it might be smarter to go with a scope that might not be ideal for a 1200 yard shot, but still provide plenty of performance out to the general sub 1000 yard range. It's easy to want the most high performing scope when I'm sitting here at my computer where weight doesn't matter, but like Sp6x6 said a 20 ounce scope sure is nice... [/QUOTE]
