What is the actual purpose of the rifle? Edk
elk rifle from 300-500 yards.
most of my elk hunting areas are short range (<300 yards) but there are also several spots where opportunities are considerably longer.
You don’t have to dial for 300 yds, and on elk, barely for 400. Beyond that, I would say yes. If this is elk-specific, I agree, you really don’t need more than10x at the top. Ok, 10x, 12x, or 15x top.
Might ask what is your platform, weight, and chambering. Just my opinion, but if your back wall is 500, you could do well without a special build and a quality scope with a good ballistic reticle.
