I just bought a 300rum & was looking to get a scope for it. I make consistent 500 yd shots with some of my other rifles and would like to set the 300rum up to try some longer shooting. I think I would like some type of BDC reticle that can get futher out. Can the mil-dots be used for BDC ? Seems alot of you perfer nightforce scopes, I perfer not to put $1500. in one if I can get something that will work for less. I am new to this long range shooting,but I would realy like to learn from you guys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif If you can give me any help I sure would appreciate it. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Thanks again
Which scope and reticle ????????

It's better to spend $1500 fron the start rather than spend $500 and then turn around and spend the $1500 anyway!!

Rack, Ol Bill speaks the truth. May as well save and pony up for a N/F. I just got my 15x50 R1 from Bill a couple of weeks ago and have not had a chance to mount her up yet.
IMO you cannot go wrong with the 15x50 R2. It's a whole lot easier to get on the 2 moa bars for distance than the 1 moa in low light conditions for me anyhow. If you shoot the 185VLD at 3400fps you get a drop like this:
Sight in at 100yds
Bar#1 300yds
Bar#2 400yds
Bar#3 500yds
Bar#4 600yds
Bar#5 676yds
Bar#6 750yds
Bar#7 828yds
Bar#8 900yds
Bar#9 960yds
Bar#10 1020yds
Bar#11 ?
Bar#12 ?
Bar#13 ?
Bar#14 ?
Bar#15 ?
You get 5 more bars in the 15x vs the 22x. Each bar on the R2 is 2moa and the cross bar in 5moa.

Greetings, take a look at Leupold or Schmidt & Bender rifle scopes with Advanced Reticle Technology. For a long range hunter this reticle technology is hard to beat, enjoy two range finders and 30 precise aiming points based in MOA. The reticle is non- caliber specific, uncluttered and very easy to use. The 6.5x20 Mk 4 would be a great choice and is within your price range.
Good luck!!!!

How or what are you guys using to find the MOA correction factor for a certain load at all the different yards? I hope these questions are not too dumb,/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gifI'm just trying to learn. Thanks again for all the help. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif Bk10

An Exbal ballistic program or similar software. you have to enter known data about your caliber, load, velocity, etc. etc.
develop a drop chart and go shoot and test it out. most porgrams are pretty accurate.
lots of factors can change this data and lots of testing is needed in different conditions to know how it is affected.
