[QUOTE="Randy Dunn, post: 60052, member: 3473"] The scope will be going on a hunting rifle in 338 rum. I am very interested in the long range shooting that people are talking about on this forum, 800-1000yds. I want to learn more about what it takes to use a range finder and ballistics software to dial a 10" target in at 800yds. I would like to find a scope that is 3-4x on the low end (it is pretty likely that I will find myself in the trees with an animal that wants to chew on me) and 14-16 on the upper end. Tall target knobs look like they would get in the way hunting. The Swarovski and S&B look like a good candidate, the dials are finger adjustable with caps, and the power range is acceptable but I'm not sure they are meant to be adjusted on a regular basis or used like a target scope. Maybe I am trying to do the impossible trying to find a scope that is a good comprimise? I have also thought of using two scopes and trying to find some really reliable QD mounts. [/QUOTE]
