[QUOTE="thor447, post: 3476473, member: 24867"] I agree with [USER=9374]@tRidiot[/USER]. As you get deeper into the black hole money pit of long range shooting optics, there are some features that are nice to have. First focal plane (FFP) is a must, in my opinion, as you stretch out for further shots. Having a zero stop feature for your elevation turret is also another very nice feature to have if you decide to build a dedicated long range rig. There is a common saying when people ask what scope they should buy, and it was said told to me in the past: Buy the best one you can afford. This will ring true if you want to start shooting long range. Any of the optics that [USER=9374]@tRidiot[/USER] mentioned earlier should suit you nicely for your hunting purposes though. One of the best things you can do, regardless of what scope you end up buying, is to get accurate D.O.P.E data for your rifle & hunting round. Get chrono data and build a D.O.P.E chart or download a free app for your phone and input your data. Study it enough to learn how to make adjustments on the fly. At 150-200 yards, it won't be an issue. As you get further out, it will be a necessity. [/QUOTE]
