[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 589234, member: 4809"] Welcome to LRH. If you are confident in the accuracy of your rig, then it is time to learn what your bullet is doing downrange. Like johnnyk suggested, develop your drop table and back it up with a good ballistics program. Once you have a good idea what is happening downrange, then target acquisition is the next step. A top quality laser rangefinder is a must. Lots of threads here on that subject. In the end, at the yardage you are talking about, the Swaro or the Leica will be your best bet. Then get a quality scope. You will need to determine if you want to compensate for distance by "holdover" or the "dial-up" method. This will determine what reticle you want, which in turn will give the direction you need to go in choosing a quality scope. [/QUOTE]
