Default RE: scopes for a triumph

If you are going to experience long distance open shooting, then a BDC would be a good idea. For instance, if I hunted out west for elk and antelope where my shots would be 100-200 yards, I would have the exact same rifle you picked and a Nikon Omega with BDC. BUT if your shots are maybe an ocassional long distance, but most of the time 100 or under. I think you can get the same results with a good scope and just practice and learn the drop to it.

I shoot a Black Diamond XR with a 4.5 power scope. At 150 yards, I put the thick part of the cross hair on the bulls eye and just over the top of it. Touch off and the bullet hits the bull almost every time. But when I am in the woods, I set the scope on 1.5X and walk around with it. Great field of view and handles the shadows.
