Re: .300 wsm...magnification for 200 - 400 yards?
Good info from PSU fan. The bushnell elite 3200 and 4200 are great scopes and some of my favorites that aren't ungodly expensive. As he said, if you wanted a different scope, there are quite a few that are under $500 and some even under $350 that are pretty good glass. Just realize that you probably have as good of glass as the falcon, super sniper, etc. Burris has been bought up by several different companies, some offering better glass than others, so that'll kind of just depend. Alot of guys also like the Millett trs that like the super sniper, falcon, etc. Just realize that these scopes have different features, but not necessarily better glass, your scope has pretty good glass for the money.
Don't let the "doesn't exactly match your bdc" thing get you down. There is a great way around this. You can either tune your load to the BDC reticle, and hope that it is the one that actually shoots best for your rifle, this can work. The other option is that you can take the load that you like and that groups the best in your rifle and then shoot out to 200, 300, 400, etc. You can see how closely they match your load, and you may just need to hold the bottom or top of the dot to get your hits. You could also just make one click if you know the distance so that you could hold center dot, and then dial back for your normal distances. Don't let the BDC thing not being perfect discourage, they're not usually perfect unless you send it your load data and the company calibrates it exactly for your load. Even then, with differences in elevation, barometric pressure, temperature, etc, they still don't always work for your load in all conditions. Just something that you should keep in mind and why some people prefer mildots or TMR (tactical milling reticles).
