[QUOTE="CarbonLead, post: 1327600, member: 97696"] I just recently bought a 7 mm mag for long-range shooting and hunting. I'm looking at putting a decent scope on the rifle but keeping the length, weight, and turret height to a minimum. I plan on putting it in a rifle scabbard on a pack for backpacking in on foot on spot and stalk hunts. Hunting I would think 800 to maybe, possibly 1000 yards and target shooting just slinging and stuff out to a mile for fun. I have used a Siggtron 8-32 x 56 SIII LR out to a mile it worked wonderfully but length weight and turret height is a little more than I'm looking for. I have been looking at and considering a Lupold VX5 HD 3-15x44or52 , Leupold vx6 3-18x44or50 or 6-24x52(not the hd), Vortex razor LH 3-15x42, as well as the Night Force SHV 4-14x56. My question to you guys is what is the best compromise in the lowest magnification you prefer for hunting at longer ranges and target shooting at longer longer ranges? What scopes would you recommend keeping close to $1000. Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
