[QUOTE="ShanMan, post: 676072, member: 50878"] I was hoping for something in the range of 4-16 power. That seems the most versatile to me. I will be using it on my .270 win with a 24 inch barrel. Eventually I will do hand loads with Berger bullets the VLD's to try to get the most out of the caliber at further ranges. I will take the .270 as far as it can go. The hunting here in TX where I live is short range mostly, and I have other rifles for that. But the hunting out in AZ is a lot more open and presents further range shots on mulies/coyotes/javelina. I have looked at the Vortex Viper HS 4-16x50 power and it seems like it may be a great option, but I may wait until they come out with the FFP in that model later this year. It will mean spending more, but I think it may be worth the investment...what are your thoughts? As far as distance, the max distance would probably be 800 -900 yards if I can push it that far for targets and hunting will be on whatever I end up feel comfortable after practice to make an ethical shot.
