[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 336786, member: 18756"] I would get the sendero, better long range platform. Scope, I like the Leupolds because of the 15 MOA per revolution, I put BDC on my hunting guns so I like them for that, also I think they are a great scope for the money. I use 6.5-20X50mm LR VX-III scopes for hunting. As far as MOA, it's an inch at 100, two at 200, 3 at 300, etc. You want to get into long range hunting but don't want to learn MOA, then you won't be shooting very far my friend. You want to learn to shoot long range but you don't want to learn how to dial your scope? It's like wanting to be a millionaire but not wanting to learn to count money. Just dive right off, it's easier than you think. There is tons of information on MOA on the web, like I said, it's easier than you think. When you have a drop chart, just look at the MOA's needed to shoot the distance you want to shoot, then turn your scope to the number needed. i.e. if your chart says you need 9 MOA for 500 yards, then turn your scope elevation knob to the number 9 and squeeze the trigger, we'll talk about wind and mirage later, but you need to know MOA's. -Erik [/QUOTE]
