[QUOTE="SSG Graybush, post: 2447922, member: 115190"] If you can get the Vortex MIL/LE/FR, get the ffp Razor HD LHT for 1199$ from Sportoptics.com. That and the Mark 5's are the only good lightweight hunting scopes for long range. IMO. And both are under 26 oz's. Leupold has the VIP program but the Mark 5's are a few hunderd more. And the sfp Razor HD LHT for close range. But being a prs shooter and ffp guy myself I dont like sfp, but that sfp Razor is actually pretty nice for hunting <300 yards. I have hunted in WY for elk and deer. Where shots could be 1k but seems like there always under 100. Lol. My buddy did make a 383 yard shot last time out. I did his 270 win load development, his elevation was spot on but his windage was off, he forgot to hold for it. Bullet drifted and hit buck in the neck. Dropped it. Its always windy there. Which ever way you go just make sure you check/true dope at attitude. AB has always been spot on for me. I tape a dope card on the sun shade and have my Kestrel and range finder around my neck. Just incase I get to final make a LR shot. I tested my 270 wsm at 350 yards(15 mph FV wind) and 7RM at 475 yards(25 mph FV cross wind) out there and AB adjusted perfectly. Good luck and have fun.
