[QUOTE="cdherman, post: 220748, member: 12282"] Wow, a real nice forum you fellows have here. I tried searching and reading threads but have not got quite the advice I want as of yet. I have a nice new 270 WSM Savage 12FVSS 26" bbl stainless varmitter that I will use for large varmits of the whitetail variety. I hunt in western Kansas, where a lot of shots are 200-400 yards. I wounded a deer at 300 yards 2 years ago and my opinion is that it was as much failure of my gun as the operator -- never could get my 25-06 to shoot as well as it should have in spite of trigger work, bedding and my best hand load attempts. Anyhow....... I am thinking in the 2-14 range, or maybe 4-16. The occassional 50 yard shot presents itself, so too much power is not wise either. A lot of shots happen at dusk and sunrise, so good light gathering is a must. I figure to spend between 500 to 700 dollars but I could be talked into spending more or less. I found a Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x 50mm with Varmit Hunter Reticule for under 600 at Midway. You think that is a wise choice? Decent deal? I like the looks of the Varmit Hunter's Reticule. Opinions? Sorry for all the newbie ???? Thanks in advance.... [/QUOTE]
