[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 905544, member: 39801"] How far out are you looking to go, and how much of a factor is weight? My Cooper JG 280AI wears a Swarovski Z5 with the BT. Shooting 168 Bergers the 13MOA over zero-stop will get me to 700yds (with a 250 yd zero). Very nice glass, lightweight, and seems to be tough (haven't knocked it out of zero yet). If you need more than 13MOA for the distances you are shooting, look at one of the dedicated LR type scopes others have mentioned (I am partial to NF based on experience, can't afford S&B, and am hearing lots of good things about Vortex). The 280AI is a great cartridge and I am betting you will not regret it. Not sure if it is rifle or cartridge, but I've never had an easier time with load development than with my 280AI. Enjoy your new toy! Brandon [/QUOTE]
