[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 13786, member: 319"] Thanks for the info Ian. I guess I'm "doing my homework" right now! The range of adjustment you posted looks good for that scope. I understand that the 30mm Leupolds have a larger range of adjustment than the 1" tubes, right? Do you know how much? What are the chances I'd run out of adjustment with the 1"? If I do, what do I do about it? Shim the bases? I hear ya on the gong. I built one for my "home range" about 10 years ago and I attribute much of my skill to practicing on that thing. Of course you always need to "cut paper" to test zero and accuracy, etc, but there's nothing that works so simply for practice--whack!...nice shot! Silence..."air bullet!" I marked off 100, 200, 300 and 400 yds and spent many hundreds of rounds from those ranges from various field positions. The farthest I had ever shot at it before was 500 yds (only a couple of times...missing is depressing!) but there's room on the range to go out to 800 or so before I'd need to jump over the neighbor's fence. One tip, don't ever shoot a Barnes X bullet at such a thing at anything under 200 yds...or it just might come right back at you! Ask me how I know this....
