[QUOTE="NEB, post: 479357, member: 3505"] Tank, I want to keep the 6.5 the way it is for a couple of reasons. First, I like having a gun that I can crank elevation and windage for the days I shoot targets (it is just fun, what else can I say). Also, I figured if I have two different setups I can figure out which one works better for me. We all know the 6.5-06 and the 7STW will eventually burn up their barrels, and when that happens I want to know which direction to go with a new and improved long range rifle when I rebarrel. By the way, I really like the Zeiss Conquest I have. I was considering one for my 7STW, but thought about going with the Rapid Z 800 or a custom turret to speed up the shot sequence. Then I started thinking about a scope 9 power or less to do without the extra step of parallax adjustment. Long story short, I started getting a little information overload and thought I would give you guys a chance to help me out. Tank made me stop and think for a second, and I appreciate that! Oh, one more detail, my longest shot opportunity on my property is around 750 yards. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
