[QUOTE="James B. Dressler, post: 1448, member: 459"] I thought I was a long range hunter until I stumbled upon this site. I am presently using a Model 70 push feed in 300H&H with a heavy 26" tapered octogan barrel from the Montana Rifleman. The action is pillar bedded and the barrel glassed the full length of the forend. The scope is a 6.5x20x40 Leupold in Talley mounts. It is very accurate but I have discovered the scope to be the limiting factor in my making hits way out there. I am considering having Premier Reticles install a custom reticle with at least four crosshairs running horizontally below the main one. The first would then be set for 200 yds, the next 300, and so on with my chosen load. My bullet of choice would probably be a 180 Scirocco which I am running at just over 3000fps. I am thinking of this as a 600-700yd gun and would be primarily after across the canyon Mule Deer. My question is would the custom reticle be better than target adjustment knobs? [/QUOTE]
