[QUOTE="SouthTXBowhunter, post: 1150945, member: 13266"] I'm not that familiar with Burris' offerings but with Leupold you could go the route of a lower profile custom dial set (CDS) and have it built around whatever load you decide to shoot. I would imagine that Burris has some comparable offerings. If you want to hunt/shoot out to 1000yds you're going to have to learn to use dials to achieve any consistent accuracy. Trying to hold over with your reticle, IMO, is not nearly as consistent or accurate as dialing up your distance. Personally, I prefer a cleaner look (reticle-wise) over hash marks everywhere. It's so much easier to have more traditional crosshairs, range the target and dial the distance. If you're shooting LR you should have the time and you don't have to worry about movement. There are plenty of guys that love those complicated reticle sand can use them effectively and quickly; but thats not me. Good luck choosing your scope! I think it's a harder choice than the rifle but it's just as important! Don't skimp on glass!! Merry Christmas!!! [/QUOTE]
