[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1002538, member: 84520"] I am not a long range shooter, but on occasion I have opportunity to take shots out to 500 yards or so. I just bought a Sako AV in .270 Win. It's in pristine condition and appears to have never been fired. I was going to put either a Leupold Vari-X II 3x9 or a VX-3 2.5x8. But now Im enamored of the Leupold VX-3 4.5x14. I go with 40MM objectives because I like my scopes to be a close to barrels as possible. One of the longest shots I've made was on a buck antelope with my .270 Win & a 130 grain Sierra GameKing. I know that the .270 Win is capable of taking game a long way away. If I am very, very lucky that my new Salo AV .270 Win is as accurate as my Sako AV 7MM Rem Mag (It will shoot way under MOA), I want to be set for an occasion long shot. I do have a lot of desert big horn bonus points, so if my number comes up, I want to be ready and well equipped. What would you long range hunting guys recommend? Should I go with a 4.5x14 or use one of the scopes I have? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
