[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 785096, member: 23486"] Will the 3.5-15 reach 1000yds? Yup. But it may be a little out classed by your 300RUM. What do you intend to shoot @ 1k? The 5.5-22 would be a much better choice for hunting at that distance IMHO. Keep in mind, there is always a trade off: The higher you go in magnification, the less vertical travel you will retain in the turrets. Most folks choose to stay in the 20x-25x area as the magnification is usable for precision shooting yet still retains enought elevation adjustment for LONG range shooting as well. You can always go with a tapered base (& I recommend that you do) & even the 32x NXS will reach 1k very easily with your RUM. t [/QUOTE]
