#1. Don't take this personally, please.

Its not ethical, period.   If you can stalk closer to an animal to make a cleaner, more sure of shot, you owe it to the animal to make a clean shot.  When you post something on a web based forum it will be only opinions that you get back.  I don't knock you for wanting to shoot a long range I just dont' suggest doing it at game.  There are to many variables at those distances.  Even if you not alone in your quest to shoot at game at long range, doesn't mean its right, with what one person does doesn't make your doing the same right.  Your gonna get knocked for suggesting hunting at that distance bottom line.  You can justify it all you want by saying your gonna practice so you do make good shots but even the best make an off shot at those distances.

I do ram hunt with a guy that has one of the Defensive Edge custom rifles. It's a very nice gun. 

I think you have to have a trapping lic. for this type of stuff.
Getting the right set for shooting (time/place/chance) such that the shooter can close the distance to the animal for a good track (if necessary) is 95% of the problem, anyone can shoot at an animal from a 1000 yd.

I don't want the gun to sit in the safe until I can afford that kind of a scope. I know that there has to be a scope out there that is as good for allot less money. For me right now the Cheaper the better because I'm out of work right now. I know everybody says you get what you pay for but 2k for a scope is killing me.


The Nightforce of course would be an excellent choice.  If you want cheaper (and probably best value) I recommend the Viper PST 6-24X50 FFP in either Mil or MOA.  They should be available any day now.  I would not go any cheaper than that.

The shredded BVD garrote technique is only legal on exotics that are not protected and also legal for feral hogs and squirrels. "It's how I found my first wife" No No
