For shooting that distance, you're probably going to spend every last dollar you have in the scope. Think Nightforce, US Optics, or high end Leupold. What will become more important at those distances is learning to read wind. Without that ability you'll simply be lost as windage at that distance is measured in feet, not inches.shiloh buck hunter said:now what kind of optics should i consider, i wanna be able to eventually shoot out to possibly the 800-1000 yd mark, but really dont wanna sink every last penny i got into the scope,
I routinely shoot out to 300-500 yards, but I'm a hunter and I want to shoot to those distances primarily as an exercise. Going out farther than that means it's time to step up the equipment. There are lots of good 300-500 yard scopes out there that are affordable, but once you get past that distance you'll be spending much more for the scope than you paid for the rifle.
