[QUOTE="MikeW, post: 13698, member: 72"] I?m about to make a decision and order a scope for my 1000 yard gun. I have a Nightforce on one gun now but I don?t think I want to spend that kind of money again. I?m thinking this would be a smarter move, but I need some input and data from you guys. Here is what I?m thinking about doing. Leupold 6.5x20 30mm tube with side focus. Have it power boosted to 14.5x35 $195 Have four dots put above the horizontal cross hair and five below it. Aprox. $100 These dots would be placed based on the ballistics of a 7WSM and a 162 grain Amax. And three dots spaced 2 MOA on each side of the vertical hair $24 This seems to me it would be a more practical and useful scope than a Nightforce and less money. Would I still need 20 MOA scope rings with a scope set up like this ? And does anyone have a ballistic program that can run some numbers and give me estimated velocities that can be achieved with this case and a 162 grain bullet? Thank you [/QUOTE]
