My problem is that the hunting methods that seem to work involve walk & stalk and a fixed power, even 10X is a bummer for a 40 yd shot, especially running shot (the yote not me).

When I set up in an "all day" position, for the loooooong shots, up to 700 yds or so, 10X is a bit puny.

Guess what I otta do is get a dedicated rifle for patiently waiting like you guys do on the "rock". Have a rifle already selected. It'll be good to well beyond the 1K mark.

By the way, I have some super hooty high bc 140 gr .277 bullets coming that should extend my range just a bit. We'll see how they do.
