[QUOTE="Syncerus1, post: 3057543, member: 129009"] To all, thanks for the comments. No hate for the 7mm-08, it's a wonderful platform. To FireFlyFishing, I appreciate your suggestion and I feel your loss. I recently lost one of a remaining small handful of lifelong friends[B], [/B]and we can never go back in time. I appreciate Africa immensely having spent years there as a PH in several countries. WeiserBucks, that was indeed my post. The true number of game taken is in excess of double that number, no brag just honesty, and a lot of culling. My purpose in the 6.5 PRC is it does double duty in both hunting and LR shooting at a more reasonable expense. I went over weight on this rifle with the heavier scope, but could find no other options for power/clarity/repeatability. I love clean reticles, and they are on the verge of extinction in todays marketplace. Numbers, hashmarks, thick and thin posts and wires are the norm. A dial up scope should be cleaner, the marks are great for faster follow-up shots, but then follow-ups are not necessary if the first is one and done as expected. Guys tell me about slings, levels, and such as my final pieces, please? I shoot sticks and prone of packs/bags for and aft when range/conditions permit, so no bi-pods necessary... [/QUOTE]
