[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1469448, member: 68875"] For 600-800 yards, the 3-15×42 is plenty of scope. I have shot my .280AI that used to wear a 3-15×50 out to about 1300 and it was very sufficient for the use of shooting at deer sized game and up. Even coyotes. If you plan on using the rifle for still hunting and stalking, as well as a long range rifle, the 3x on the low end will be nice with a wider FOV for quick target acquisition. If you have a separate rifle for still hunting, and this is for glassing and shooting, the SWFA 5-20×50HD is a fantastic scope for this purpose. Your rifle is already going to be heavy, the added 6oz is not going to break the back. If it was a 6# rifle, I would suggest the lighter scope for sure. If the 5-20×50 is illuminated, another plus for a hunting scope. The HD glass will also help with light gathering, and clarity of course. The only issue is no zero stop shims for the 5-20. So pay attention when you dial! [/QUOTE]
