[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 2577939, member: 101791"] I've used 2x7's & 8's for a very long time with a duplex's. For 500yds and under it works just fine. Learn to use the crosshairs and the vertical post to elevate to make that shot. Example I was using a 25/06 with 120gr SPBT bullets. At 300yds while use a 2.75" zero @ 100yds, I would just hold the cross dead on. At 400yds I would raise the crosshairs to the top of it's back. At 500yds, I would hold the point of the heavy vertical post transforming from the normal crosshairs at the top of it's back. I also used the duplex to determine the range of the animal by how the animal fit inside the duplex at different ranges. quick and easy. Now I never step up to determine ranges on a elk. I do have a fancy scope now with all the bells and whistles. That's only because I am reaching out farther than 500yds and smaller animals. [/QUOTE]
