[QUOTE="Buck Buster, post: 1336909, member: 99718"] I bought a new Remington 783 300 win. mag. this spring and just changed the 3 to 9 no name scope that came on it with a Bushnell Banner 6 -18 X 50 scope. The 3 - 9 that was on it seemed like a good quality scope but its not enough power for shooting at the longer yardages. So after getting it sighted at 100 yards today I thought I would retry the 178 gr. ELDX and the 168gr. AMAX. I cleaned and cooled rifle before shooting two three shot groups with each load. The ELDX loads were first , the fist group was 1&7/8" the second group was 1&3/4" all at 100 yards. The 168 AMAX was next with groups of 7/8" each, surprisingly the 3X9 scope shot about the same groups as the Bushnell. I know this gun isn't the best long range shooter off the shelf gun. I just wanted something light to carry back a mountain top to a point that I can shoot from about 375 yards out to about 700 yards tops. I will use the 178gr. ELDX for woods hunting and the 168gr. for the longer yardages. Good hunting and be safe [/QUOTE]
