[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1067859, member: 12995"] The only reason I mentioned the Viper HS-T instead of the SWFA SS, is because you said you wanted it for hunting, and for targets from close to long range, so you will want variable magnification. If you were shooting targets only, or only hunting beyond 300 yards, then I would say go with the SWFA SS fixed power scope. But the chance that you will engage targets inside of 300 yards with a fixed power 10x or higher will be a lot of magnification to deal with. But if you plan on target shooting only from 100 on out, then the SWFA SS scopes will save you some money, and are built like tanks. I have a 20x42 MilQuad on my 5R .300 WinMag (I have two 5R's one in .308 Win and one in .300 WinMag). My 5R .308 has only had a trigger swap, and other than that is 100% factory, and it will shoot 1/4 MOA, and probably better, if I was shooting on a Lead Sled or something other than homemade sandbags. :cool: It loves the Berger 210 VLD's. I have not tried the 215's yet, as I have not bought any. [/QUOTE]
