[QUOTE="Buck44, post: 462985, member: 23567"] Thanks guys. Retiredcpo, I am in the proccess of purchasing my scope. I have narrowed it down to a leupold 6.5x20, 8.5x25 (not sure if I want the ffp model or not) or the Zeiss conquest 6.5x 20. You see the problem is my whole life I have always tried to buy the best available. Now I am not new to hunting but I am new to long range so I am trying to experiement at first and build my own small caliber long range gun for coyotes and maybe a prarie dog trip in the near future. I have been reading and learing mostly on this site and honestly have learned a lot about checking my scope for trueness and basics of how to set it up but the more I learn the more I am not sure if I am capable of doing it right. I sorta want to just go out and buy a rifle that is ready to go and has a load worked up but I feel like I will not learn much that way. I don't really understand this new obsession that I have with long range but it is consuming me. I am just ready to get started and don't really know where to begin. I know that is a lot of rambling. Anyways... I have the gun and I have a lot of reloading equipment.. I need to purchase the scope,rings and maybe 20 moa rail???? I would like to shoot out to 1000 yards but that may be more than my 223 is capable of. Maybe if I could feel confident at say.... 600. I would be happy to start with. I have a mark 5 Weatherby 300. With a 2.5 x10 zeiss that I realoaded shells for that I am pretty good out to 400 but I did that 10 yrs ago and after reading on this site for the last year I realize i didn't know squat. Any advice will be appriciated. Shanon BUckingham [/QUOTE]
