[QUOTE="Idaho Lefty, post: 1430449, member: 104437"] "life" is full of "trade off's" ! Either buy, a smaller scope and get closer, to shoot Or, carry the extra 4-5 ounces and have,.. the 700 Yard, "capability" ! That's why, I carry a 4.5 X 14 on MY .270 WSM, it's to "reach" out there IF,..necessary! My 140 AccuBond is going 3,150 FPS at the muzzle, and still going, 2,000 FPS at 700. I use my Rifle for Hunting, from Black Timber, to open rolling Sage/ Juniper country and, I have NO desire, to shoot from one mountain range across, to another mountain, AKA Extreme long range,.."shooting" ( 800-1,200+ yds) NOR, do I want to carry an 11 to 15 pound Rifle ! I'd be happier with, a 200-300 yard shot and good bullet "placement" for a quick, humane kill,.. Again, JMHO PS; there is,.. NO,.. "free Lunch" [/QUOTE]
