[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 2241574, member: 3230"] Ha! Same scope I use in northern MN and on a .308 no less. The 7X helps if you want to look at antlers but I keep it at 2X. I shoot a deer or two there every year and haven't shot one past 125 yards in over 20 years. Last time was 20 yards. Longest in the past 15 years was 75. Not sure what kind of stand you are using, but I think it is equally important to keep the rifle short and light. A shorter barrel creates less of an arc when you swing it; you certainly don't need anything long if your shots are <300. I like a light rifle because I often bungee my climber stand to my frame backpack, which contains a -30 deg sleeping bag, a heavy parka, etc. Pulling up everything can be chore. A lighter, short bbl rifle is easier to haul into the stand. [/QUOTE]
