i have been practicing for the past few months on shots up too 600 yards with my new 243. win and vortex viper 6.5-20x44mm and so far im doing good. with much more practice i hope my groups shrink, and even sometimes hits become more consecutive. every once in a while i take my 300. wsm to practice as well as for last year i had a shot opportunity at 740 yards and 1 at 550 yards. The year before that i had a shot at a Large black bear at 460 yards and i had to pass due to my scopes ability and my ability. I began practicing and i consecutive and confident out to 400 yards. I would like a scope that will allow me to make shots easier, clearer, and is meant for long range.
This year i am going to Montana to do a Deer/Elk combo hunt and i talk to the guy who's property he is hunting and he missed a BIG 6x6 and a really really good 4x4. He has also seen numerous monster whitetail but hasn't been able to get the shot due to shots being 300 yards and out. I want to be prepared.
This scope will be placed on a Browning A-Bolt 300. wsm. I would like the lens to be 56mm and smaller preferably around 44-50mm. The power should be around 4-12, 4-16 or 5-20 ish. I like the 4-16 idea. not to big but big enough. I dont want to be spending too much money that i cant afford the hunt no longer if you know what i mean. I would like to stay under a 1000 but if taxes included come to over a 1000 im okay with that.
I have heard many say the Zeiss conquest 4.5-14 is what im looking for with z-800 reticle. I prefer the dialing method more. I have heard a lot of people tell me to stick with Vortex since i have good experience with them i would like too. People say the Vortex Viper PST with or without FFP , 4-16x 50mm would be a good choice. whats your thoughts
