[QUOTE="joseph, post: 383104, member: 19151"] I have a Vortex Viper 6-24x50mm PST FFP MOA Turrets & retical on pre-order from SWFA. I plan on having Kenton Industries make me a new elevation turret in yards to match my laser range finder. I am planning to use the horizontal MOA marks to hold for wind. The rifle I will be using is a 6mm Norma BR shooting Berger 105 gr. VLDs at about 2,950 fps out of a 26" 1 in 8" twist Brux barrel. I have shot a couple of 5 shot groups (no wind) which have measured in the .3s at 200 yds. :):):) I plan on using it for antelope this fall. This past year I killed an 8 pt. whitetail at 200 yds. with it. The 105 VLD went through its neck and out its far side leg bone. While sighting in at 307 yds. one of the bullets went clean through a 3" diameter oak branch. I do not know how far of a shot would be ethical, but maybe 400 yards would be its limit. Maybe now ya'll could give my some advice with this info? joseph [/QUOTE]
