[QUOTE="pods8, post: 1071717, member: 83233"] Cabelas has the Leupold RX-1000i TBR for $300, some buddies just picked that one up but haven't played with it yet, I'd imagine it should read off animal hide out to 600ish. I have a nikon 100 that will read elk to 550-600 range (may go farther but needs a solid rest). I'm not sure who told you MOST shots are 300-400yds, I wouldn't agree with that. That said it sure doesn't hurt if you are a solid shooter that can capitalize on a 450yd shot it presented it (for instance). I would most certainly not be taking my MIL/MOA numbers from a range finder unless it allows you to personally input them. At extended ranges you should be using your own dope, not generic caliber suggestions. Don't forget you'll also likely be 8000-12000' in elevation which changes things too. [/QUOTE]
