[QUOTE="Jabulani, post: 838863, member: 70393"] Ok let's have a look at what I have and where I want to go with it. The rifle I want to use is my Remington 700 BDL in 7mm - 08. This was used for silouette shooting ( I don't know if you have this dissipline in the States.) I currently hunt with this little gun and use it on just about everything up to Wildebeest (I live in South - Africa) with no problems. I would like to keep it as a hunting rifle but for longer ranges.It does not nesseseraly mean that it has to be a rifle you have to carry around all day.I will hunt with it for plains game (Springbuck....) where you can be stationary and take shots at just about any range within your capability. I would however like to use this as a 500 - 800 yard gun. I will probably upgrade at a later stage to somethig more suitable for those realy long shots. The conversion of this will be a process ( I am sure it is the case with most guns)rather than a total rebuild,starting with the optics. I am confident that the rifle can do 800 yards with the correct load and bullet combo as is , with the correct glass mounted . Botom line is that we are a bit limmited with what is on offer in SA and therefore I need some input from people who have used the different scopes on the market.It is not that easy to go to a dealer and ask for the model you are interested in to have a look at. Appreciate all honest feedback. [/QUOTE]
