[QUOTE="corey006, post: 336144, member: 1767"] Well, the reason WHY I am here is to learn about Longrange Hunting. I am in process of trying to put together a Rig that will do the job out to 800-900 yards and I am pretty sure I can do it with a lighter weight scope than 2 pounds and a scope for around $1200 range. I am a newbie to this so maybe I should read more and dole out less advice....LOL! I am still debating on cartridge and I am pretty sure a 7mm Rem Mag will get the job done at those ranges but I am leaning towards a 7mm STW. I had to pass on some bucks this year that DWARFED the ones in those pics because they were 650-700 yards out there. Anyways like I said... I was mistaken about your rifle in the fact that it only weighs 12 lbs fully equipped. I could carry a rifle like that easily without complaint. I will always try to get as close as possible....but if my only option is a 600-700 shot I hope to be capable and have a rifle that is capable as well. Thanx. I look forward to a future debate where we can bang our heads together.... ;-) [/QUOTE]
