[QUOTE="Oilfield Cowboy, post: 202699, member: 11503"] We've already been checking out different rangefinders. A few guys I shoot with have top end leups and whatnot, but they start to lack when it gets out around 600 yards. Especially when trying to range anything smaller then a mountain ;) Figruing on picking up a kestrel this summer. This is why I'm not planning on doing it this season, need time to get used to the gear. Went out with the gun I might use (GAP 7WSM 7.5 contour Broughton 1:9) today in 25mph sustained wind, gusting to 30+. We were shoting at 300 yards. Did better then I thought I would. .22-250 was hanging as well. Might have a friend slap together a .300 Dakota to do this with. Calm days... thats a laugh :D I'm torn between the .30 cal or the 7mm bullet for this project. Again, this is why I'm hoping by the end of next season I will have the skill to pull it off. There are a lot of things that can go wrong in 100 yards, let along 10x that. Thank you for the welcome, I can't wait to start the progression on this. [/QUOTE]
