[QUOTE="kevin2, post: 991629, member: 83835"] We have a new location to hunt on a private farm in Michigan, and there are locations where we can get shots up to about 700 yards. Now, I have purchased a 270 gun so that we have the proper starting point to take longer shots. I don't think we'd try to go 700 yards, but 4-500 would be a possibility. OUr set up last year was a Nikon 4-12x40 Prostaff scope, which I liked because of the Spot ON technology. However, our range finder failed us when we finally had a deer out there to take a shot at. We had it set up for my daughter, she's 18 and a pretty good shot, with Hornady Custom Lite 120gr SST & I had it set up just prior to her last hunt with Hornady 270 Win 130 gr SST Superformance So, I was considering getting a better range finder to start & then was looking at a better scope. I looked at the Burris Eliminator III 4-16x50 Laser Scope because it appears to address both of our issues. We've only got a place to practice out to 250 yards, so I felt if we got this scope performing at 100 & then out to 250, then I'd feel comfortable shooting out to 400+yards once in the field. However, I'm not sold on this scope, even though it appears to get great reviews. Looking for some help on a scope & range finder. Any input would help [/QUOTE]
