Rifle Scopes I am going to shoot a 1 mile course and need advise, please.

[Tackelbarry]

I have a Remington 700, 300 win mag that has a Leupold mk4 6.5-20 on it. I also have another gun with the Steiner T5XI 3-15 on it that seems like much clearer glass. My question is, will I have enough adjustment from the Steiner T5XI 5-25 model 5126, if I buy it, replacing the Leupold, to go out to a mile on my 300 win mag? Thanks in advance.

wondering what type of rail you are currently using...is it flat or angled for a calculated MOA?

Your gonna need approximately 20-26 mils up from a 100 yard zero.

If you can dial/hold that you should be good.

I use a scope with about 30 Mils of total adjustment and a 30 moa rail to shoot a mile with my 260.

wheres the course if you dont mind me asking

To answer your question, we need to know the elevation, weather, projectile BC and muzzle velocity.

How capable are you with your current setup? Changing things might be more of a hinderance. Typically the same model scope in 3-15 will have more internal adjustment due to less magnification. Additional magnification would be a plus at that distance however, so its a tradeoff. As long as you have enough internal adjustment to meet your needs, other features are just a bonus.

have fun sounds like It's going to be a blast .

The T5Xi on a 20moa rail and you'll be just fine.

I have a buddy who dropped a bunch of coin on a Nemo Arms Omen semi auto in 300 Win mag. Running 190gr FGMM ammo we were popping our 1 mile target with a $240 4-16 Millett scope. So if it can be done with that optic..

Drops $5k on a rifle, puts on a millett. Jesus, at least get an SWFA SS 10x haha

I went totally backwards. I have an XRS2 on a damned howa lol

You will basically be walking it in anyhow shooting to a mile. Stuff like that doesn’t impress me much. First round hits more often than not at somewhat practical ranges does.

Stretching it out is a fun novelty activity.

I agree - you'd have to have some significant issues going on for a 20 MOA rail with your T5xi to fail to get you to 1 mile.

True, but folks can learn some valuable lessons along the way (like how to calibrate their apps). The smiles are big when we hand someone a Mile patch. And then every once and awhile, you get that perfectly still morning when the cold bore magic happens.

Up down is easy, left right is hard.

Advice:
Hit the target.
Look cool while doing so.

Seriously, run good dope and a good bullet that you have previously verified and you should be good.
