[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5012379, member: 12277"] Agree that scope adjustments are a lot more needed beyond 500 yards unless you get one of the reticles with tick marks and spend a LOT of time shooting to verify what mark to use at various ranges. Also hunting in unfamiliar territory makes a range finder a necessity because an error of even 25 yards can be a big deal way on out there no matter what you are shooting. I'm constantly looking at all the landmarks on my land on various internet sites where you can measure distances then looking at them when I'm on the farm in person so I can memorize ranges for shooting. I've shot quite a bit out to 400 yards but need to do some at 500 because it's about exactly 500 from my shooting house to a corner of woods that juts out into the field which deer use a lot. We call it the "Magic corner" in fact because of all the deer traffic. Currently I'd not shoot that far out because I don't have good confidence where the bullet would be. [/QUOTE]
