With that I do totally agree NYKSTA. But with your recommendation of a $100 scope and your "GUESS" of 8 feet of wind drift I disagree. For scopes I'll stick with NF. As far as wind drift goes I don't know what you are shooting that will drift 8 feet at 950 yds, but you may want to change bullets/Caliber. The 300 WIN MAG load I used as an example with a full value 10 mph wind at 90 degrees drifts 3.6 MOA or 33.9". So you were only off by 62.1". Long range shots are never a guess. I am not saying I am the best shot because I am not. But under the right conditions I wouldn't want to be a deer or elk standing out there. Sorry to the OP for the Hyjack.
