[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 45767, member: 8947"] Living in BC and hunting in very "bumpy" terrain, I would like to offer this suggestion to Warren. In the mountains, all the tech in the world is not going to account for the wind you will face. At the ranges you propose (up to 1500yds), you are going to need spotter shoots. When you get to your hunting area, take some time and plink on the near by mountains. I think you will quickly find that wind in rarely ever constant in direction or velocity. At some point, you will decide how far is too far with the gear and rests you will be using. Ranging without very good equipment is going to be tough too. In this terrain, all the gadgets in the world will not ensure a one shot one hit at ranges much past 500yds in anything besides dead calm. Then you have to deal with the thermals. Enjoy your hunt...
