[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1991055, member: 54178"] MY CHOICE FOR MY 6.5 PRC: I hunt in Nevada with a Browning X-Bolt Pro chambered in 6.5 PRC. It's a long range hunting cartridge IMHO. MY SCOPE: 2019 [B]Bushnell Elite LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44[/B], FFP, mil/mil, G3 illuminated "small Xmas tree" reticle. Deer often stay in the shade if it's warm and I needed an[I] illuminated reticle.[/I] THIS reticle, a [B]G3[/B], is great for long distance hunting as it's not too busy but great for windage and elevation when paired with a rangefinder [I]and[/I] you understand your particular bullet's response to wind. [U]No dialing is needed with this reticle.[/U] Since I'm used to using my H59 big Xmas tree reticle for competition the G3 is a breeze to use and much better than the similar Zeiss reticle. I feel 18x is enough for any game I'll shoot out to 800 - 900 yards on antelope. Since I compete to 1,100 yards on steel at my club with a 3.5 - 21x scope I know the 4.5 - 18 will work just fine. The key for me is that I am familiar both with long range shooting and with Xmas tree reticles for elevation and wind holds. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
