[QUOTE="Catfish, post: 368925, member: 7211"] I would have recomanded a 3x9 or a 3 1/2x10 Leupold but you said it was for long range hunting so your choice is excellant for that. You could get blastic raticals put in it, but they are good for only 1 bullet BC at 1 velocity and at 1 power setting so I much prefer useing a drop chart. Make sure you have target knobs on the scope and you will need a good range finder, a 1200 yrds. one. There are several good program to run your load with that will give you a pretty good idea of what to set your scope on at any given range, but they will all be off alittle so you need to check you setting at the range. Zero your rifle at 100 yrds. then add what the program said for 200 yrds and try it at 200 yrds. Then try 300, 400, 500 ect. When you have the correction for the 100 yrd increment setting corect put them on a card and tape it to your gun. For yardages not on the 100`s interplate. ( 50 yrds would be 1/2 way between and 75 yrds. would be 3/4 of the ways between the 100 yrds settings.) These setting will work no matter what power your scope is set on. [/QUOTE]
