Well guys...It seems I should have just did what I normally do, and start way back on a forums thread(s) and read forward
I just spent two days and learned a lot especially from Zak Smith's good long range shooting series of articles
So, better than average skills...check
Pretty good rifle...check
Experience Zeroing at 100yrds....check
Black Hills 175 ammo....check
Knowledge to effectively use Factory, Computer ballistic, and chrono data...check
Practice range to 500 yards...not optimal but will help
Ability to dope wind dir and speed.....learnable
Several lower end long range varmint scopes...not optimal but will help decide on what ---in a price range ---might be better
The last is my thoughts....
Since this is a once a year deal...
IMO dedicated LR $$$ Target scope may not be needed if one of my Bariska or Simmons varmint scopes feels right for my boy.
I have three to play with, most are 50MM with 40mm tubes up to 32 power but with cross hair reticals
Recoil for the Rem 700 308 may be an issue cuz I tend to buy scopes with NOT much eye relief...mostly cuz they were intended for lighter recoil rifles like 22-250 or 204 Ruger
