[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 91809, member: 2011"] Ol'Gator, W/the 7STW and decent shooting loads of the 160gr and greater weight it will be a thumper well beyond 5-600 yds. With the Mil-Dot scope you shouldn't have to worry about clicks till way past 850 or so, depending on a lot of things. Don't know if that scope has the reticle in the first or second focal plane. If in the first plane, regardless of the power the mil-dot value will be the same. If its in the second plane then it will be calibrated (1 Mil = 3.6inches) at most probably 10 power which in my opinion and experience is sufficient for most, nearly 100% of shooting. But if you want to zoom up to max power for definition of a small target or zoom down in low light conditions the mil value changes proportionately with power. That'll drive ya nuts [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] At least it does me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Other than that just about everything about a Carl Z is pretty good. I had a 2nd focal plane scope and could keep track of things unless there was game in the field of view then I kind of went bonkers [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] Switched to a decent 1st focal plan scope and life got good, well......at least better [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
