[QUOTE="Str8aim, post: 873213, member: 72486"] I am very new to the long range shooting world, but very interested in learning more from people that have done it before. I am working on putting together a new gun to start shooting long range targets. Most of my shooting has been done at targets ranging from 300- 870 yards. Most of my distance limitations are due to the .223 I am shooting. I have the gunsmith for the gun but wanted to get more input on what type of scope to get? I have a vortex pst 6-24 on my varmint gun and I like it, but I have noticed some issues at long range with it. Crosshairs defiantly block a fair bit of the target at full power(FFP). At distances over 1000 yard it seems to be a little under powered? My goal would be to compete someday at one of the long range shoots in my area. I wanted to see about getting some information on what shooters are using for scopes? What are some of the pitfalls in long range scopes? Right now I have a limited budget of $1200 for the scope. Is that even reasonable to consider for starting out? All information is appreciated and I look forward to hearing your opinion. Thanks Newbe [/QUOTE]
