Ric, is that the new 6.5 Lapua?

dont you shoot 600 yds backward with a mirror? I think any of those choices are great. I did read about the reticle subtensions on the steiner a couple weeks ago and it did look like they matched up well. Similar to the leupy Boone and Crockett if i recall.

Yep that the 6.5X47L...

I like the ret. Not overly crowded but easily functional once you have a load worked out.

I'm a fan of this one for 500 and beyond.

One of the best values out there and only 16 ounces.

The Swarovski with the bt is good for 700 with my 7mm rm in a 140 or 150 nbt.
All you do is simply zero scope for 300. Then dial and drop a ring for 400, 500, and 600. The 700 is a few clicks past that. The good thing about the swaro is you can change loads or bullets without buying new turret. I really liked that over the zeiss or Leupy

Btw with my 7mm rm it is only 3.3" high at a 100 yards. I would think that is good from 0-700yrds
