[QUOTE="britz, post: 173301, member: 7865"] Good job on the rifle choice. As for your scope, I have a 5.5-16.5 and like it, however, I just missed a deer running at 75 yards partly because I was having a hard time finding it in the scope. I usually don't have a problem with target accusition but I did this time. I wouldn't reccomend anything bigger than this if you want to shoot close range as well. My 16.5 power is plenty big for 600-700 (my personal limit at this point for big game) and I don't see a problem with 16 power at 1000 either. Also, if you stick with the 4-16 you will easily find a scope with closer to 60 MOA adjustment making it easy on your scope to adjust from 100 yard sight in to 1000 yard sight in. Just my .02 [/QUOTE]
