[QUOTE="buckpounder, post: 921076, member: 77473"] This is the third time trying to answer this. Maybe I'm too old to use this thing! My experience has shown me that the 30 cals are good for punching paper and for hunting humans but not that effective for deer size critters at extreme distances. If you can, get a spotting scope or binoculars at least 10x ( more mag would be better) and sit behind some shooters and observe. something like a 6.5 x .300 wby vs. others and you will see for yourself that the 6.5 with a good 139-140 gr bullet at velocity around 3400 will look like a dart whereas the others will look like a guy lobbing a basketball. I used a 12x Unertl Ultravarmit and could outshoot my buddies with their 15x and up mag scopes in lower light conditions. There's my 2 cents for you. Been there done that! [/QUOTE]
