[QUOTE="Elkwonder, post: 1049225, member: 28569"] I am in the process of putting together two rifles for my two primary hunting rigs. The first is a Sako Long range in 7mm Mag That I have a new Razor 5-20x50 patiently waiting. This will be my main Elk gun and the one I do the most of my playing with. The second is where Im a little confused. It will probably be my MAIN Mule deer hunting rig. It will be a Tikka in 7-mm08 with a little tuning and a new stock. I am looking for a scope that is capable of playing around out to about 500, but I will not be shooting at animals with this setup past probably 400. My question is If Im only shooting to about 400 and its my main hunting gun, would I be better served to go with better glass and a hold over type system? I would like to have the best glass possible for this one due to low light hunting situations. I have a new sightron 3.5-10x44LRIRMOA that I had originally bought for a 22-250 predator rig, but I haven't got around to it either, SO, I could rob the scope from that project for this one....lol. But Im wondering if I should opt for better glass and a little more magnification? What are the thought of the long range crowd. Thanks [/QUOTE]
