[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1273312, member: 63138"] Some thoughts on your situation. If you want to practice and get good at shooting you need to shoot. To make that more pleasant so you can do it a lot, I'd drop down to a 260 Rem were I you. Less recoil, higher BC bullets. And you won't need a brake which would make the rifle unshootable without hearing protection meaning jump shooting game would required you to put hearing protection on before shooting which is a problem. Weight is good for shooting long range and though 400 yards isn't long range, still I would not go less than 9 pounds full up. Also cuts recoil. My long range rigs weigh in the 11.5 pound range. I have no problem carrying them anywhere and that includes some of the more rugged country in Montana, Idaho and Washington. If you like covered turrets the Vortex HS has them plus the turrets have a nice pull up to zero feature. I've got several Vortex and they have all been good scopes. Good luck whatever you choose.
