[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 524557, member: 30671"] I tried to qualify it with "good light" meaning optimum conditions mirage, and such, but yes really. Gateway Colorado has their dynamite shoots, and the pop can size targets on the "short" course 400+ yards are limited to 7x I don't run the course by any means, but targets are visible. With my Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10X LRT set at 10x the cans on the "Big Dog" course at 800 yards are visible, this is where my partners 14x starts pulling away. I've shot at the 1000 and frankly I'm just finding the stake and guessing. The Leupold mil-dot reticle is currently "hollow" in the center, and this helps me a bunch. Reticle apparent size is something worth considering in your new scope, some good threads here by folks that explain their choices in first vs second focal plane much better than I will. My eyes are over that 50 year mark and the Illuminated reticles are a help in sharpening up the crosshairs a bit as well. [/QUOTE]
