[QUOTE="Deleted member 25294, post: 1689594"] Ha Ha that's awesome.. In all seriousness though I did shoot my bull last season from one mountain to the next with my 7.4 lb mountain rifle (940 yards). I was using a Zeiss V4 that didn't track worth a crap, the only reason I was able to take the shot was because I figured out where my scope correction for that range actually was the day before. I'm stating from personal experience that most hunting scopes aren't up to the task of tracking accurately enough to take really long shots. It took me years of fiddling with ballistics and BC's trying to get everything to match up, before I actually started doing proper tall target tracking tests. Lets just say the results were eye opening.. I ended up selling every scope I owned (VX6, VX5, V4, Z5, Vortex HSLR, and V6) and currently run MK5's and soon a NF NX8. Again an extra 4-8 oz is well worth the gain in my opinion, if it's just too much weight I'd strongly suggest working out;) [/QUOTE]
