[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 278745, member: 7999"] OK, no one else is piping up, so I will start with an opinion, and I am sure someone else will come and disagree. That way the waters will stay muddy. Given what you want to shoot at, and what sounds like a possibility of hunting deer. I think you should go ahead and use the Nikon that you have, and mount it to a Tikka T-3 Varmint in a 260Rem, or a 7mm-08. These will be pretty light on the recoil, able to reach fairly far, easily re-loadable, and still have enough to harvest a deer easily. Now stand back, lightning may strike.:rolleyes::D Good luck with what you choose, and have fun. If you decide for sure what you want, check out usagunclub.com. It'll save you a fair amount of $$.
