[QUOTE="Guest, post: 58295"] GH, Well at least you asked before just winging lead at far of targets... Most guys have this fantasy of shooting way out there at intended targets and have no idea just how far .." far " is... to shoot at longer ranges takes alot of dedication and practice.. just not as easy as buying a magnum and "holding over" I have a standard 10X on my 308 and I have a self imposed limit of 700-800 yards with it... I know at 500 yards I can routinly hit a 10" steel plate... I have shosen this 10X scope after using such others as 3.5-15 , 6-20, 8.5-25... the 10X is just a good all around scope for 800 yards or less in my opinion... the other scpe of choice would be the 3.5-15 but you have to remember to keep your parallex correct... I do have som concern about you .. just holding over... unless you have a scope with hold overs on your reticle .. why would you want to take the chance? both Nightforce and USO have excellent reticles for known distances. My advice is to practice an learn you rifle and load.. then determine just how far you can hunt... there is no satisfaction in wounding an animal... [/QUOTE]
