[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 471561, member: 24624"] 4-500 yds is not asking much for the cartridge and any of the scopes mentioned. I am a Leupold fan. But, I suggest you pick the scope that has the features you like best for the type of hunting that you will do. Beware of too much magnification. 20x is great for targets. But, 14x is sufficient for what you described. It's nice to have repeatable turrets to dial when you have time. A custom BDC turret based on your actual shooting results is best. It's also nice to have a useful reticule that allows you to hold for wind and/or elevation when called for and also to be able to range targets if needed. ...but, not too cluttered. A lot of folks seem to be down on Huskemaw since Aaron left. But, it's still a great scope/system that's proven in the field. I would mount an EGW 20 MOA picatinny rail and Burris Tactical Elite rings (or equivalent). You will be glad you did if you ever want to swap scopes between rifles and/or try some long range shooting at 1k or farther. --richard [/QUOTE]
