[QUOTE="Copengr33n, post: 533530, member: 35886"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]18" is good for me. I like to play around at long distances for target shooting, but my .338 win mag is strictly a hunting rifle. I am not going to take a shot past 350-400 yrds. In fact, due to the terrain I hunt, I don't have 300+ yrd visibility.
