[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 494671, member: 11717"] Good advise but I would use a 200 yd zero which would give you almost another 100 yds of point blank range. If you can shoot MOA to 500 yds, with a little practice, you can easily kill an elk to 600 yds or so and the 7RM can get the job done with a good shot at that range. I don't think you can go wrong with either scope. Which ever you choose, practice with it and know your drops and holdovers for a quick shot. If you're shooting uphill (about 30 degrees) past 300 yds, aim for the lower third of the body to hit mid body on an upward trajectory. If you're shooting downhill, aim for mid body to hit upper third on a downward trajectory. -Mark [/QUOTE]
