[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 991643, member: 54178"] I'd get the Burris Eliminator III. It has decent optics and takes into account your cartridge ballistics and angle (up or down) as well as your zero distance (such as 100, 200 or 300 yards). You program the cartridge and zero variables into the scope. Plus the reticle in the Elimintor III has a "Christmas tree" pattern of dots for windage holds and fast, accurate second shot follow-up corrections [U]if[/U] you saw where your first shot hit. I can't stress enough the value of a reticle like this. This is a very advanced scope and worth the money. I would strongly advise against any of the several Bullet Drop Compensating (BDC) reticles on the market. Nikon, Burris and many others make these. Their reticles are set for a specific bullet weight, altitude (usually sea level) air temperature, humidity and zero distance. Because of these restrictions beyond 300 yards they begin to lie to you. ->If you decide on a [U]separate scope[/U] and rangefinder get a scope with a mil reticle and mil turret adjustments, known as a "mil-mil" system. NEVER buy a scope with a Mil-MOA setup. My recommendation for a riflescope (other than the Eliminator III) is one with a Horus TREMOR reticle. I helps a lot with instant windage adjustments in that you use your reticle, not the turrets, to adjust for windage (once the scope has been zeroed). Horus and Bushnell offer scopes with this reticle. Go to Horus' website to see this reticle and an explanation.
