Thread: Scope recommendations

shooting 500 isn't extreme at all and wearing out a barrel practicing come on just practice at the ranges you wish to shoot often, know your ballistics and fps get a shooting
app that works well, decent rangefinder and you dont need a 4000$ scope at all sure it will be better but getting into it plenty of good scopes that will shoot to 600 and dial
accurately and repeatedly. Plenty of guys get all the gear and have no skill shooting and you see some of that on tv and you tube channels you can tell the skilled(practiced)
from the unskilled but you see some piss poor long range hits on animals. I think a south island 500m might be different to a waikato 500m lots of good big valleys to shoot
across when you cant stalk any closer and the weather is easy to read when you've been in the hills long enough in my experience anyway when its good its good when its
bad its bad not usually much in-between .

But its just practice and having the right gear to start off with will pay dividends when you start shooting long range, everyone watches rogee on YouTube and thinks they
can get a wsm and shoot long range just as well as him with only sighting in at a 100m range and not practicing at distance. i usually head north an hour to a valley set up
targets at 1 - 500m at different elevations and go for gold im lucky that i can do that as a south island north canty high country is 20 minutes away

my next scope will be a Burris 3-15x44 and once i work out a good all-round load for it will use some custom turret stickers basically giving the same use as a 3k scopes cds turrets
