[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 57318, member: 25"] I would suggest the 5.5-22x56 NXS and the NP-R2 reticle, this is about as good as it gets for long range hunting. Put it in mounts from Badger Ordnance or Nightforce and you will never have a concern about how secure your scope is. I have this scope and it is superb, can recommend it highly. Hate to complicate your life but I would also suggest a "practice-rifle" in .308 Winchester so that you can shoot lots cheaply - save the custom .300 RUM for hunting and pre-hunt practice. Hard to beat a factory Remington 700 VS, Winchester Stealth (or ll) or a heavy barreled Savage in .308 Win. for refining your marksmanship and learning to dope wind (and mirage). Welcome to this site, I am confident that the guys here will be able to provide a lot of info that will help you get into long range hunting and shooting. Lots of real-world info as opposed to gunshop-hero talk. [/QUOTE]
