[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 291530, member: 11717"] Hey Ro, Your enthusiasm is great! :) Am very glad we could be of some help and it sounds like you got soem great advise from AJ. Those 160/162 bullets are a good pick, especially if you want to stretch your legs a little farther than 800 yds at some point. On the range finder... do a little research on some threads. You might start out with a mid level one for now and get something better latter. Something you should know though, is that most DO NOT range to the distance they claim. I.e. I got a nikon 1200 last year that ranged to about 800 yds and not always. Most of the guys in here use a Swaro ($1000) or Lieca 1200 ($600-$700). The Leica will range to 1200 and the Swaro usually past 1500 yds. I have seen Swaros go for a little over $600 on ebay and that's where I'll be getting mine when I save the $$$. A Nikon 1200 might be just the ticket for you and you might find a good deal (less than $300) on ebay. Great pics of your African hunt! That's awesome you could have an experience like that with your son! Your warthog seems to bear a slight resemblence with you.. maybe it's the smile? :) Keep us posted on your progress, Aloha and Best, -MR [/QUOTE]
