Oh, I'm not worried out to 600. I can hit 10 inch movers easily at 600. What I need to figure out is my dope beyond 600. I'd like to scoot back to 1000, so I need to figure out my dope every 50 yards past 600 out to 1000. If any of you guys have any advice or suggestions, I'm all ears.

If you're shooting a .223, in my experience out of my Recce rifle, the bullets were starting to tumble past 850 yards. I only got one hit on 16 inch steel out of 10 shots at 875. Which is not enough for me to call my Recce rifle a 875 yard gun. Best of luck to you.

Oh don't get me wrong. I know there are SPR rifles out there that do 1,000 yards. All I was saying is that not every AR with a scope thrown on it will do that. I have a Recce, not an SPR. (16 inch barrel) with a 1/8 shooting 77gr.

I was using Silver State Armory 5.56 77gr OTM. They have given me by far the best groupings out of multiple manufactures that I have tried.

I know Vortex uses pretty decent Philippine glass, but I have doubts about how well ANY 32mm objective scope would perform on 10x in low light. How are those 2.5-10x32 Vortexes working for dusk/pre dawn shots?
I am seeing the new Burris XTR II 2-10x42 for the same price ($700) as you can find that Vortex for, and those are getting good reviews. It has a 34mm tube, and also uses Philippine glass. I would be leaning toward that over the Vortex if I was in the market.
