The Sheppherd Range Finding Scope has darn decent clarity and is the quickest and simplist at range finding. It's nearly automatic........

I am THRILLED with mine and have taken mule deer at 400yds with a Browning A-Bolt (BOSS) in .308 (150gr Nosler Ballistic Tip/Varget).

With proper bracing/tripod/sandbags the combo has shot 4in groups at 600yds and weighs in at less than 8lbs.

Once the scope is sighted in, no further adjustments are required. Heck, I'm mildly surprised the anti-gunners haven't gone after this combo........it allows the layman to shoot long-range, limited only by a steady hand and clean trigger pull.

Did you know that after around 400yds it's extremely difficult to determine where a shot came from?

Follow up post:

with the 150 grains, 400 yards it excellent results. For longer ranges, the federal 165 grain soft point boat tails work flawlessly. Check out a box, you might be pleasently surprised.
