[QUOTE="robndenver, post: 827777, member: 19829"] I have a Burris Full Field II 3x9 on my .30-06 Remington Model 700. The rifle has been bedded and accurized by Dave Sullivan at Wind River Rifles. I always hunt with Barnes Vortex Ammunition. I have taken Antelope with it three years in a row, and a Cow Elk last year. None of these shots have been more than 200 yards. This year I drew a Bull Elk tag in Area 13 Near Craig Colorado, which may require much longer shots, due to the openness of the terrain. I'll be hunting the 4th Rifle season, which pretty much guarantees some snow on the ground. I will also be hunting Antelope on opening day in Wyoming just north and west of Cheyenne, with a buck and a doe tag but that could be in 80 degree weather . . . October 5th. . . I have a Burris Fullfield II that is a 4.5x14 scope that I intended to mount on a Kimber 300 Win Mag, but I have never fired that rifle, since I won it in a Wyoming Wildlife raffle and it is a RH Rifle and I shoot left handed. So, for the hunts I am planning this year, should I mount the longer 4.5x16 on my go-to rifle or just leave well enough alone? [/QUOTE]
