[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1526230, member: 74902"] I would just be careful and not wear the barrel out plinking at long range steel. Sounds like the rifle is shooting good now and will be an excellent mid range hunting rifle. I would try to keep a rifle like that for hunting for a long time. As said before, I have a RZ800 scope and have used it for years. It can be very good for quicker shoots at say 500 yards. Which can cover 99% of hunting situations, unless you are hunting in a location where the game is predominantly long range. I have that scope on a 25-06 and have made shots on game from 375 to 463 with it. And that is really about the terminal limits for my 25-06. Just about three weeks ago, I was easily popping milk jugs at 500 yards with it. Have shot still with it to 600. [/QUOTE]
