[QUOTE="dkrueger, post: 1150104, member: 93837"] I am on the same line, in fact a ways behind you. I have been shooting a .243 open site my hole life and just got into long range shooting. I Just bought a 7 mm mag Tikka T3 Lite and put a Vortex Viper 6x24x50 HS LR scope on it. Was told it is a **** hot scope. Also got a Savage 111 .308 Trophy Hunter XP. It had a 3x9 Nikon on it. My dad just give me his reloading equipment and thought this would be as a good as time as ever to get into LR Shooting. I have 3 kids coming up and want them to learn both open sites and then LR Shooting. Anyway, I live in North Dakota and was trying to site both in the other morning when it was 5 above dam. I got the Tikka close at a 200 yard zero with a zero wind at my back. I was circling a quarter, but hit it with the .308 was right on both with factory ammo. Is there any advise I can get on which rounds to go with. My dad is big on nosler and a buddy is big on horady amax. The nosler or the hornady. If so what grains do you suggest? I also have a .270 with open sites. Please give feed back on all 4 calibers. I need to upgrade the scope on the .308 but will have to be later on. Please feed back on good scopes as well. Thanks.
