[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 859173, member: 12995"] For the last 50+ years snipers were taught to shoot to 1,000 yards with a set 10x scope. I think you'll be alright at 500 on mule deer sized game. :cool: However, my recommendation is for a truly lightweight scope. It's not cheap, but it will last you a lifetime, and then some... Figure out your hashmark drops for your particular rifle and caliber, and you'll be set! This scope only weighs in at 16.5oz.......That's lightweight!!! [URL="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/148374/kahles-kxi-rifle-scope-35-10x-50mm-illuminated-4d-reticle-matte"]Kahles KXi Rifle Scope 3.5-10x 50mm Illuminated 4D Reticle Matte[/URL] I'd use this lightweight mount. Make sure you only torque the screws to 30 inch-pounds, or you'll have issues. Also, with this mount you don't need to use loc-tite, being that once you torque aluminum, it's pretty situated.
