Thanks for everyone's advice. I ended up taking the 300WM shooting the 200 grain ELD-X's and got two hogs that dropped in their tracks. Also had some time to shoot steel out there and made a first round hit at just shy of 1000 yards. The range work before the trip brought my confidence...

"All Lawful Purposes." That's what I put on the form.

Thanks for the reply. My long range hunting experience is really limited to coyote - 55 grain ballistic tips from an AR - when living out west. In Virginia its been whitetail with slugs and arrows and lots of steel and paper with the rifles. So, I don't have any historical knowledge of terminal...

I have had a similar experience, I started with Leupold scopes before I heard of Nightforce and have been selling them to buy NF's after trying a friend's. To me the biggest difference is in the turrets and how much more "solid" they feel at each click, the Leupold feels a bit sloppy after a...

Most days I have carried a .223 AR but on my next trip will take a .243 Remington 700 to have some more "reach."

Long time reader here, just registered today. "Long Range" in Virginia is much different than in Colorado - someday I'll make it back west.
