[QUOTE="shooters, post: 336940, member: 7769"] VX7 had a limit of 600 yards? The Boone & Crockett reticals only went to 600 yards. Anything over that, I have to guess. I don't want to have to guess on an animal. Not that I'm ready to shoot over 600... not even close. I also do agree that saying I didn't want to learn MOA is a pretty ignorant thing to say. My budget for a scope is $1500. Also, not sure on how a scope with Mill dots or reticals works when you have turrets or MOA adjustments???? I see NF and other scopes that have reticals and MOA knobs???? How can you have both? I thought that with MOA, you had a fixed crosshair and you just turned to the distance needed. Used the crosshair and were good to go. How can you dial a scope for the distance and still need to use other yardage reticals? See guys, I told ya I was a NEWBIE! Oh, I just picked up the RUM today. Time to go break it in. Might be a little weird to shoot without a scope. It also may be a little cold to break it in today as well. Not sure how well the Tetra Kleen will hold up in cold temps. Maybe I'll wait for a warmer day. Been below zero for a few days. A little cold out. [/QUOTE]
