[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 2345661, member: 54178"] MoreSalsa, Until Ibegan long range competition with a 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle I thought 200 yards was a long shot. Now I feel very comfortable using my 6.5 PRC hunting rig for shots to 500 yards, which is now "medium" range for me in competition. It's all a matter of long range practice which gives you experience as well as an entirely different perspective. These days "long" range is 1,100 yards on 2 MOA steel. But as I said, on big game 500 yards is my absolute limit on good weather days unless i'm after antelope. Then it's out to 800 yards or so. Ihave confidence int hunting rifle and scope. The LRTS 4.5 - 18 x 44 has a G3 small "Christmas tree" reticle that is illuminated with the twist if a dial. Perfect for animals standing in shade against a dark forest or very overcast days. If I were you I would look [I]very[/I] closely at the[B] Sig/Sauer Sierra6 BDX scopes,[/B] [B]BDX monocular[/B] and [B]BDX 3000[/B] [B]binocular system[/B]. It is a very good setup for hunting regardless of range but (with practice) will give you confidence for longer shots. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
