[QUOTE="bassrods, post: 1304725, member: 4376"] NO I shoot out to 2,000yards and you need a scope that has real good glass I use a NightForce 5X25 F2 and in competition at 1,000 yards I use NightForce 15X55.. Save your money lots of junk glass out their.. One think to try with any scope you want to shoot 1,000 or more is to do an elevation test here is how it works.. you need a target that is 45" tall and then put a line or two from one end to the other (striate) and just wide enough to see from 100 yards away and a line about two inches off the bottom (square of each other) then take it and a level to a place you can shoot and place your target at 100 yards ( not 101Y or 99Y but 100YARDS) make sure the lines are striate up and down with the level, shoot a group at the T at the bottom then turn your scope up 30"(by clicks) hold the same sight picture and shoot another group..With a tape see if your groups are 30" apart if 29 1/2" or 30 1/2" get another scope..So far all eight of my Night Force scopes have been right on.. Oh you should have a levelling bubble on your scope as well. [/QUOTE]
