RE: Good long-range deer calibers.
I will start this deer season with a 270. I have a 2.8X10 Aetec scope on it. This combo will be darn hard to beat for shot as far out as a guy should be taking. Total cost of the package 555.00. Rifle, scope, ringsabd bases. The new Aetecs took a big price jump but there are still some of last years model around for about 110.00 with shipping. You can look high and low and not find a better scope with as good of reviews than the Aetec. As others have said, the 3200 Bushnell is a darn good scope as well. Also look as the Swift Premiers and the Sightrons.
