Long range optics

What kind of optics do I need, to take 500+ yard shots? I would realy like to be able to shoot 800 yards. Is there a good scope that someone could recomend that won't break my wallet?

In the Leopold scope you can buy the Vari-3 6.5x20x50mm or the 8.5x25x50mm scope a lot cheaper than if you buy it in the Mark 4 model. I would go with a 20 MOA base to help with the longer distances like a 1,000 yards. I will look and see, I have found a Leopold Vari-3 8.5x25x50mm scope for $773 I will have to look and see where it is. Hope this help's.

Why iron sights?

You don't even need those if you're shooting from the hip. Besides, my eyes are sighted-in at 7.5 miles with my ruger 10/22

Scope?

We don't need no stinking scope. I lick my finger, test the wind, angle the barrel up, and lob that 22 round onto the target. Yessir, I am that good. I can kill the flea off a mouse's ass with two to the chest and one to the head at 5 miles away, in high wind, without any ammo.
