[QUOTE="HoytemanPA, post: 18631, member: 286"] Bubb, IMO the 6-18 VX-II would be a wise choice for starting out. It already has the turrets, It will easily go to 1000 yards with that 300 rum, has 12 more inches of max elevation than the 1" 6.5 by 20 VX-3. For this you lose 2 power. Just mount it in burris sig rings with a 10 thou shim under the rear base for good measure and give her a whirl. Then if you find out superlong is in your blood you can pawn it off on ebay and probably get within $40 of what you paid for it new. Then get a big LRT. That being said, I am very new to this as well, about a year, and I followed the advice of Darryl with the Leo LRT 6.5x20. I couldn't be happier with it from a bench setup. But if I were putting a bipod on a rig to tote around, where 6-700 yard shots are the exception and not the rule, I think I would go with the VX2 6-18 Target 40mm. HPA [/QUOTE]
