[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 604046, member: 39764"] Bruce... One of the guys I hunt with happens to be a dyed in the wool long range shooter and of course he hunts in our piney woods with me too. He's not adverse to close stuff, venison is venison whether it's 8 feet or 800 yards..... He's actually the one who has got me interested in this long range shooting, I never considered it until about 8 months ago.... As related to me by him as we sat down to a dinner of Elk steaks one evening..., On a recent elk hunt he had his trusty bino's and was looking for elk and didn't see any. The guide saw a bull at about 700 yards and he saw nothing. Took his guides Swaro's and viola, there was the bull. he has Swaro's now. I still have Bushy's....lol Thats a good case for high end optics. I can see added expense down the road as this progresses. What works in our piney woods don't necessarily work long range. Like I've said before, I've always been an iron sight person with rifles. Scopes on handguns and target pistols but I was devout squinter with long guns.... Still need to bench the Savage and get the optic sighted in. Maybe this weekend...... [/QUOTE]
