[QUOTE="ltrmc02, post: 974982, member: 39103"] I doubt that I'll shoot much past 500yds at game in the near future as I live on the east coast and just don't have that much open land to hunt but I'd like to build a nice long range hunting rifle one day and would like to go ahead and have a scope capable of stretching on out to 1000yds or so. Maybe wishful thinking that I'll move out west some day LOL. I have two scopes I use on my target rifles a Bushnell Elite Tactical and an IOR both are FFP with Mil reticles and Mil adjustments so I'm questioning whether I'd want to get something in MOA or not. I'd like to get fairly proficient at ranging off the reticle even thought I'd always take along and use the lazer for precision but I'd just like to learn that skill. With not having any field hunting experience of compensating for long range shots I may just put a picatinny rail on my hunting rifle and use one of my target scopes for a hunting season and see from there what options I'd want in a hunting scope. I'm sure when your target is moving and only giving short periods of time to take a clear shot then ranging, adjusting and all that becomes hectic vs ranging for my targets that sit there in plain view until I'm adjusted and ready to take the shot LOL.
