[QUOTE="Hoppsing55, post: 2651745, member: 91210"] You likely have the ability to shoot 1000+ yds. Just takes a little practice and some planning. Find a good load - ammunition, that works with the gun. The 300WSM is capable of 1000+ yds. Run the numbers through a "quality" ballistics calculator, and you can develop the required skills to maximize the guns potential. A quick check on JBM, shows the 300 WSM with a 210gr Nosler RDF bullet @.707 BC, at 2650 fpm should be repeatedly stable out to 1100 - 1200 yds. You mention Athlon, (ARES ETR - $1200) would be a good choice. Arken is another scope that punches above it's $ weight. (EP5 = $565) I own both and have good experience with both. Plenty of other good options mentioned previously. Good luck and good shooting! [/QUOTE]
