[QUOTE="Kroberts, post: 1286774, member: 71507"] I run a 4-16 vortex viper. I have no trouble holding on something the size of a can of chew if the spot is bright and contrastin to te back ground. If you have a steady set up and you can see it, why can't you hold on it? Can I hit something that sized at that range, no. Mostly due to the difficulty of judging the wind while shooting through the valley between a set of rolling hills with a fairly low BC bullet from a moderate powered cartridge. But it's still fun to see how close you can get. I will say that the glass in the viper is just good enough to shoot that far with. The clarity get iffy and the edges are fuzzy. My cheaper prostaff 5 on the hornet has better glass. And the tracking on my viper is starting to where a bit, as in you can make a one or two click adjustment and you POI doesn't move. Shift it the amount needed again and it moves the amount of both adjusments. This on only talking 1/4-1-2 Moa increments, but it still gets annoying when you know you would've hit the target of the scope did what it was supposed to. Kyle [/QUOTE]
