[QUOTE="benbradley, post: 55520, member: 2524"] [b]Looks like I\'ve come to the right place[/b] Well it seems like I've found a place where I can get some questions answered by people who've been there and done that, but first, a little background: I recently acquired a new Savage 12FV 22-250 with a Simmons 4-12x40 scope. It's the first rifle that I've owned that is designed to be used for accuracy at long ranges. I qualify 38/40 on BRM so I fancy myself to be a decent shot with iron sights, but I'm not experienced with a scope beyond what I've read (which is quite a lot). Here then are my questions: 1) What is the distance being addressed when the term "long-range" is used? 300+, 500+, more? 2) How can I accurately simulate extra distance between myself and my target (optically) by shrinking the target? Is there a formula or table that I can use? 3) Where in eastern Washington/western Idaho can I find some varmints? 4) What is the typical range involved with varmint hunting? I know that I'm forgetting a bunch of questions that I'll remember 5 minutes after I post this. [/QUOTE]
