[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1704322, member: 41338"] The way I see it, it's a "weight" thing. Toting a unbalanced, front-heavy rifle in the steeps is vastly different than rolling hills. Last year, I ranged from the ridge I was on. 600 yards put me two canyons over. Even if I dropped an animal that far, I'd have a very hard time finding it after I got to the slope it was on. Pretty much a heavy-sporter contour would be fine at those ranges that I'd likely be shooting and far more practical in that terrain. Open country like an antelope hunt... sky's the limit but I personally wouldn't go anything over a Sendero contour and probably less. Despite all the videos, there just aren't all that many 1000 yard opportunities. [/QUOTE]
