[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 1496156, member: 27307"] I would set up a 4x8 piece of plywood painted white at 1500 then 2500 yards to see what your scope is capable of resolving. You may find that it's just fine for your needs without having to spend a ton more money. OTOH... If it does not perform to your needs then the shopping begins. You should look at Nightforce Optics to get a feel for general pricing and quality. I started out using a Nightforce 8-32 (~$1,500) for just about anything from 1,000 yards and out. Costs start to escalate when you decide to go for all the gusto and shoot 2,500 to 3,500 yards. Now I have a March 5-40 at a little more than double the NF. The Genesis, as suggested above will run you a $5,700.00 if you can find one. Standard scopes will usually need some help with addition elevation which will cost more money. Determine what you need at what distances before committing to one particular scope. Take some time a really look hard at the potential problems and necessay equipment. Don't rush into spending money.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
