[QUOTE="Andy Backus, post: 981609, member: 22127"] Last year we built me a lighter weight mountain hunting rifle in 6.5x284. I topped it with Huskemaw's 3-12x42 Blue Diamond scope. I was planning to use that rifle for shots at game out to 500 or 600 yards. I really like the simplicity of Huskemaw's system. I use their custom lazer-engraved yardage turret to dial to the range I want to shoot and I use their simple moa wind hold marks to hold for wind. This year Huskemaw released a new [URL="http://www.longrangehunting.com/store/huskemaw-blue-diamond-series-4-16x42.html"][U][B]4-16x42 Blue Diamond scope[/B][/U][/URL] and I switched to it on the 6.5x284. My first chance to use it was a couple weeks ago at a shooting school in the Wyoming mountains near Jackson. The school was put on by Rob Wiley of Non-Typical Outfitters and I learned a ton about shooting in the mountains from unusual, improvised rests on steep side-hills, in boulder fields, at steep angles and in tough wind. Most of the shots we took were in the 300-600 yard range but we also did some shooting at 1000 and 1230 yards. I couldn't be happier with the Huskemaw Blue Diamond 4-16x42 scope. It was the perfect power range for the shots we were taking. It was definitely adequate for the longest shots.
