[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 479961, member: 24624"] Long range isn't typically conducive to taking quick snap shots unless you have an ambush setup and pretty much know where your target will be. So, only you will know what you are comfortable with and we don't discuss ethics here. Where I hunt, we can almost always get closer. So, I feel obliged to have a very certain shooting solution when we hunt long range. That said, and if you need to reduce your time to get on target and fire, then the 7STW may give you a slightly bigger margin for error provided it's a good shooter and will stabilize VLD bullets. Besides, who doesn't need another rifle? Any reticule inscribed with elevation holds that you can verify at the practice range will be faster than dialing turrets. You need sufficient reference points, but not too cluttered. Thirdly, you can set your zoom to 10x or less and worry less about paralax. Or, set you paralax for some reasonable distance and practice for consistent cheek weld at multiple ranges. The right tools are one thing. But, the right kind of practice will be the biggest challenge. ...perhaps a tour in Afghanistan? Then you don't feel so bad if you wound 'em and they run home and die. :D [/QUOTE]
