[QUOTE="Crusty Buck, post: 730506, member: 44282"] Cold Trigger Finger, I can't believe I'm up this late, but this is interesting stuff. I used to live in Greeley, Colorado where Burris scopes are made. They have a reputation of being a darn good tuff scope. Lately, they have shipped alot of their stuff over seas and back. I guess my brother's Leupold is made in the Philipines as well. I really don't know why you would need 100" of elevation for a hunting scope 0-500 yds. unless you were launching 45-70 slugs that far. I had the opportunity to visit your state two years ago. The Alder brush is something else. Even a 2.5 power in that stuff is too strong. Again, it would be good to know the size of the targets at 1K. My 5-20 Nikon is too strong for the brush here in MN and the 20 power too much for the majority of hunting shots. It's gong on my range gun for 500 yds. We have a 1K range about 30 miles from here. The entry fee is sorta steep, but maybe someday I'll get the guts to try it, then we'll see if I need more than the 20 power.
