[QUOTE="bryguy, post: 673845, member: 50487"] Thanks for the info. I am new to this long range stuff, most of the areas I was hunting did not offer these longer ranges, but the new club I am in does have some areas that present longer shooting opportunities than I have had. Farthest deer I have killed has been 376, so I am pretty confident that I can do it with the correct gear. But given that I will need to step up my range finder and my binocs, it all kind of adds up. I have about 5k total to do this with, but that can get burnt up pretty quickly if it is not watched. I honestly do not ever see myself getting into shooting high powered competitively(been there, done that with 3d archery, and it ruined me on archery forever, even bowhunting) and it will be a hunting rig with any long range stuff done for kicks and giggles only. Looking at either 7mm wsm or 7 mm rem mag pushing 160 grn pills (probably Bergers or perhaps accubombs). I may go with a 20 MOA base just to have the option for more range if needed, so that should give me close to 45 MOA or so, even with a Conquest. I have several of those scopes already, so I like the familiarity factor, but the NXS do look mighty good. May just quit agonizing over it and buy the NF and be done with it, if it does not work, looks like I could get the money back and then go another route if not happy. [/QUOTE]
