[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1086034, member: 10291"] I think if you can establish consistent accuracy with a bullet that performs on the game you will hunt at your max range, your set -up will get the job done. Years ago, I pretty much evolved to long range hunting in similar fashion as yourself. Your question is a good one. For 500-600 yard work I ended up with a 4.5-14x40mm scope which worked successfully at that range and kept a semblance of balance to my sporter weight rifle(pictured in my avatar). I tend to do a lot of carrying, even with my LR rigs. When I increased my range, my barrels increased in diameter, my scopes increased in power and objective size., and my total rifle weight increased a couple of pounds. As with all of us, your particular preferences will evolve through experience. [/QUOTE]
