[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1541625, member: 75451"] Scope: Agree with other previous comments. We’re running 3.5-10’s on our elk rigs, which will easily carry you to 500 yards...yet be practical for close range. I had an opportunity this year at a “ranged” 560 yards, and didn’t feel under scoped! If you feel that you “must” have a high power scope, consider the Leupold 3-18....gives you the best of both worlds. Base/Rings: We use Leupold Quick Detachable and have a back-up scope already zero’d Bullets: I’m a huge fan of Barnes mono bullets. I would look at the 165 or 168 TTSX or the 175 LRX. Though I would lean more toward the 168 TTSX. memtb [/QUOTE]
