[QUOTE="rharfo, post: 883910, member: 50031"] I live in the East but hunt every year out West. I have a Z5 3.5-18 on my HS Precision 300 Win Mag. Took a Texas Desert Mule Deer at 360 in Nov 2012, and I took a New Mex cow elk at just over 400 in Oct. The lower power settings work great for brush and general hunting in the East. My Dakota 97 280AI wears a Z6 which is 30mm. I had to get a cheek rest to align my eye. I use Talley mounts on both. I had Red Hawk Rifles build my 13 year old a 280AI. I put a Z5 on it for him in Talley mounts. I agree with long range shoot/hunt but I just haven't seen a need for anything other then what I have set up. A buddy of mine has a pricey Leupold with the Boone and Crocket reticle. He never got it to match the load so the lines in the scope never worked well for him. He changed it out for a Mark 4 with mildots. given his job he uses mil dots daily. I still talk to him in yards and inches. When he tells me the game is whatever distance then I turn the BT to that mark , hold dead on and let it eat! [/QUOTE]
