What magnification do you prefer for 600+ yards on game?

[Tyler Kemp]

50 minutes.

Tyler:
You've got a good scope - don't sweat it. In terms of 50moa adjustment in the scope, depending on how high your rings and bases currently are, you might need to change them in order to get enough 'come up' to shoot 1k and 1k+.

 

[Tyler Kemp]

I plan on a +25 moa base, should allow me at least 40 minutes of adjustment for "up", well past 1k!

Tyler - sounds like you're all set. Now get to the range and do some test firing. Then take some pics of that rifle and the results and post them in the Gun Photos forum.

One of my rifles is there.....http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-a-32771/

Tyler,

I hope that scope works good for you, I wasn't impressed with the glass in the one I had. It did seem to track well although I didn't shoot it much.

Got another deal! Leupy Mark 4 6.5-20x for $500! It's waiting for me until I come up with the money!

I use my 3-9x40 Nikon but may upgrade to their 4.5-14x40 SF.

Tyler:
As an FYI....I'm about to buy a Rem700 in .308. Like you, I'm not made of money. The scope I'm going to mount on the rifle is a Bushnell Elite 3200. It's a 10x fixed power scope with mil-dot reticle and has 80moa of adjustment. I bought it on ebay for $175. This very scope was reviewed on this website.....LongRangeHunting.com - Low Priced Long Range Scopes

A friend has this exact scope and it works well on his 243.
