[QUOTE="lechwe, post: 1078333, member: 89731"] OK here's where we are at this point. I've read and taken into consideration all the advice you guys have given. After evaluating that advice and m goals I decided to go with the Vortex HST 4-16x44. I know I was given much better options for true long range shooting. However, this is still going to primarily be a hunting rig. I also don't have easy access to a 1000yd range. I have an older Leica 1200 rangefinder that will work fine for where I am and what I want to do. I really like my A-Bolts and have no plans to change it. I'm going to re-evaluate my realistic range goals and hope I can get to at least 500yds. This seems reasonable to me. I think basically I need to get this set up in order and just spend as much time on the range as I can and see how it goes. Depending on how this goes and how much I enjoy it I can always start from scratch and set up a true long range gun later. It's always nice to have a project. Thanks again for all the help and input.
