Firefield, I dont know how it will work out, but the price was right. I am still new to his whole Long range thing so I am sure the learning curve will be very steep. I based my decision on some articles I read, for entry level affordable glass. I figured I can always go to a 6-24x50 if it becomes necessary. I almost ordered a 8-32x50 instead, but decided to go a bit higher. Guess time will tell. Any advice, and nice weapon, I've always loved hvy bbl's.
