[QUOTE="Catfish, post: 442720, member: 7211"] Forget barrel lenth. If it will shoot 1/2 moa or better your rifle will work, if not it will need bedded or something. I like scopes vairable scopes with the top end in the 20 to 25 X range and also prefer mil dots. You will need the best range finder you can get. I use the Lica 1,200 and it runs out of range for me. Also you will need to shoot the highest BC bullets that your gun shoots well. Work out a drop chart and wind drift chart and field check it. 1/2 moa is 3 in. at 600 yrds and thats max if your shooting coyotes. The reason I like mildots is only for wind drift or lead, I always dial in drop. A cheap scope will kill you. You need one that will track to the same point of impact every time you crank the knobs. I use all Leupolds. You must pratice at long range or all you did will be of no use. [/QUOTE]
