[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 3013564, member: 27751"] I'm not "consistent" at a mile as I practice a few hundred yards beyond what I will allow myself to shoot at game. I occasionally shoot at super long ranges because it's fun but the wind is the deciding factor on my consistency. A 300 Norma improved with heavy bullets would be good. I have always wanted a 338 edge or an edge +P but skipped that step and ordered a 50bmg. I doubt an average 50 will be more consistent than a big 30 or 338 at a mile. You will need quality loading components and that is hard to find at the moment. I would not use a Vortex for ELR; it's been my experience they tend to lose zero and have some tacking issues, if used hard. NF would be a great bet. I have had good luck with Sightron SIII 6-24 models as they have 100 moa of adjustment. I would get something with 100 moa of travel and put a 20 moa base on the rifle. Defiance or any other quality action is great. If it were me, I'd get a longer barrel for extra MV to get me to a mile. [/QUOTE]
