[QUOTE="Takem406, post: 883814, member: 72588"] So look at the Huskemaw for going to 800? How is 5x in heavy timber on close range shots? Probably won't hunt much elk with it as I'm going to only hunt during the archery season, but if I did... Not sure I'd hunt out that far, but I do plan on slapping steel and a few prairie dogs to get a feel for the rifle. Id probably only hunt out to 500 with it. Realistically probably a tad over 400. So the Z5 should be perfect? What kind of mounts should I use? I've used the Leupold twist lock style for years on my other guns with no issues. Didn't Nightforce come out with a simpler scope for the average Joe? I know these are amazing scopes but MOA no matter how much I read on it confuses me. Though I understand ballistics in inches. I shot my mulie doe yesterday at 375 with my old 308 and a 3-9, wow! 9x isnt the best for that far. First big game kill past 300. But now I'm hooked! Then I followed it up with a yote at 350. I've shot prairie dogs at 500, but they give you time to set up and crack off a few practice/warning shots.gun) Out West it seems we either go long or eat beef. [/QUOTE]
