No scope on the market will help you figure out the range accurately enough to hit consistancly much past the max. point blank range of the rifle. If you want to shoot consistly at long yardages you need to get a range finder. Then you figure you drop chart on the load you will be useing. VERY IMPORANT, Next you check your chart and make correction as needed. At this point the science is over and you get in to the art of long range shooting, WIND DRIFT. Being able to tell what the wind velosity is, not only where you are, but all the way between you and the target.
At present the lowest power scope I use on a varment rifle is a 6 x 18 VX111 on an AR varmenter. I`ve got acouple of 6 1/2 x 20`s that I use also, plus a couple of 24X target scopes. You must have target knobs if you plan on dialing in your correct elevation and wind drift, and that is the easiest was to get consistant hits at long ranges. If you are not willing to go to this trouble you can come close to the accuracy with a good mil. dot scope, but you still have to do your home work on bullet drop and wind drift.
