what i learned from all this is i just need to stick with what i know: my M700 in 280 Remington, and the Conquest 3-9x40; and complement the setup with a good rangefinder. by good i mean something super accurate and repeatable out to 300 yards. i doubt i will ever take a shot beyond that at a big game animal.
Welcome back to yourself....you've just gone full circle. Leave your looney card by the door. Been there, done/doing/did that. You won't make any friends talking that way for sure. I'm in your boat, but with a M70 270 and 330 yards is my max 'cause that's where the still is where I shoot.
Simple.
What's your ammo of choice?
