[QUOTE="Topshot, post: 291507, member: 13285"] Hi bajaaa, Very nice pics of you and the game you have taken, well done. I see you have received some great advice from the members of this site, they are not a bad bunch of blokes. The advice that they have given you on loads and bullets is excellent. Given that you are on a tight budget and only want to shoot out to 600 yards, this is what I would do! First, buy a reasonable Rangefinder that can read to 600 yards reliably. Take it out and get use to it. Second, buy a name brand scope in your price bracket with either ballistic plex or mil dot reticle. Third, Sight the scope in for 200 yards then don't touch the adjustment knobs after that. Simply calibrate the reticle marks at the rifle range and make up a drop chart to suit. A ballistics program will help here. Fourth, go out into the field where you can safely shoot, laser up some rocks etc and get some practice field shooting. I have done this with a 338WM and Burris 3-9x40 Full field II scope with ballistic plex reticle. It is amazing how far you can shoot accurately with a cheap scope if you work things out properly.
