[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 659365, member: 34084"] As a big game cartridge 280 AI runs out of energy at 800-900 yds, depending on altitude. A custom BDC turret will limit you to a relatively narrow range of pressure and temp conditions if you want to make accurate shots at over 500 yds. Are you going to hunt in generally the same area (i.e., altitude) all the time? If not, be prepared to buy multiple turrets. Otherwise, I would recommend a standard turret and a milling reticle (for ranging and wind holdoffs). If you go this route you have plenty of options. Since you were already thinking Greybull, I would recommend a Leupold Mark 4 4.5-14X50 LR/T, which is in your price range. [/QUOTE]
