[QUOTE="chowder, post: 465983, member: 29477"] Ok, I'm green at this LRH stuff but starting to get out to 400 yds w/ my Savage 12 22-250 heavy/ 50mm Mueller eraticator glass combo and I'm realizing 2 things: 1. 400 yards is a pretty long shot on a NY dairy farm and might be my 'terminal' yardage for a few years at least. 2. I need to get started working with my new deer rifle at this yardage as soon as it comes in because once spring arrives I'm very busy with crop season and salmon fishing. The rifle is a Savage 11 LRH 6.5 Creedmoor. So, here's the dillemma; I traded my Winchester 70 XTR Sporter/Bushnell Banner combo towards my new Savage 11 LRH and flat out lack the cabbage to put the Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14x50 on it that would probably really make this rifle 'sing'. If realistically I'm only gonna be shooting out to 400 yards for several years what is my best scope choice for $400 or a bit more? If you think I'm looking at this the wrong way then go ahead & tell me, I'm here to learn. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
