[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1240864, member: 54178"] [B]Wilkup[/B], My Bushnell ARC 1 Mile LRFs are very good... but the 9 ballistic curves Bushnell uses need to be 18 ballistic curves so they will be more exact. There are other LRFs with built in ballistics and I wonder if they have "enough curves". These LRF binoculars have been reviewed as "best for the money", meaning they aren't Geovids but they work very well. [B]Browning 300,[/B] I had my rifle coated with black Teflon and now the bolt works slick as snot on a doorknob. I also had the plastic stock bedded with Marine Tex and aluminum pillar bedded. (And I bought a beautiful but heavy Browning thumbhole stock for it. [B]Bravo 4,[/B] Thanks for the comment. Remember, those distances are my very outer limits. I feel fine at 400 yards, thanks to long distance competition, and further distances are just "OK" IF I have little to no wind and good visibility. Hunting in the west is so different from my native western Pennsylvania area but I'm getting the hang of it. My beautiful .308 Savage 99C has not seen action since I left PA.Still, it's getting a new Boyd's laminated stock for Christmas. It will be happy. ;o) I may be picking up a Kestrel/AB 5700 for competition. If I get very familiar with it I may take it hunting, especially for antelope. Getting a good firing solution may be worth a little extra time - if I have the time. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
