[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 465510, member: 4491"] Highknob, sounds like you're off to a good start. 3 lopes, not exactly chip shots for most. as for the guns, the 270 you should leave alone, i think that's the plan anyways. especially if it's the wifes gun. i'd also leave the 06 alone, except for one thing, heck you've only had it for 49 years. it sounds like the perfect grab it when you gotta shoot something gun. i have an 06 like that, this year i shot a snapping turtle with it. i've killed everything from blackbirds to moose with it. you already have your long range gun, a 7RM is certainly very capable well past 800 yards. i also know what it's like to want these other toys we need to do this long range stuff, but unfortunately the vendors want money to let us have them. take the 3-10 off the 7rm and put it on the 06. that will be a great scope for it and get a scope that will work for long range on the 7rm. some like a 4-14 as you mentioned, a 6-20 or whatever you want. there are quite a few to choose from. just get a scope that repeats, they usually don't have world class on the side of them. unfortunately, the gun is just the first piece of the puzzle. a good rangefinder is a must, then there's usually some looking glass to find something to shoot at. it's a lot of fun and something that can be practiced and improved upon year round.just take your time and get good equipment when you can afford it. you'll be much happier in the long run.
