[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2259373, member: 879"] Yep. This is a Long Range Forum and we just don't want anyone to forget it. So even when the OP is asking for a scope appropriate to close range shots in deep dark cover, we still recommend giant scopes with practically no close range FOV. It is sort of like we are trying to tell them that if they are taking close shots, they are doing it all wrong. Part of it is many just don't understand the fundamental difference in terrain between places like Montana, and wide open prairies where pronghorn can be seen a mile away with High Magnification Optics, and places like the OP mentioned where most deer do not even offer shot opportunities beyond 60 Yards. I've been blessed to be able to get a lot of shots out to 350 Yards from one of my stands, but that was only possible because it was a new cut-over. Hoping to have a new opportunity for longer shots this Fall with another new timber cut. So unless he has shot opportunities beyond 200, some of these recommendations are counter productive. [/QUOTE]
