My scope needs changed a lot when I moved to the south.

Whitetails in the pines are like elk in the timber but I'm no longer sniping prairie dogs, deer, elk or antelope at distance as I once did.

300 yards across a hay field is as far as I'll be shooting any more so a scope with holdover dots has me covered.

I like to dial the 22 LR rifle but simplifying is working fine for me.

A rangefinder is still nice with the 22s or when I'm hunting a buddies property and I don't know the distances to landmarks across his fields.

You will remember a curve of your wagon track in the grass of the plain like the features of a friend."
