Try one of the new-type Simmon scopes. Perhaps a 3X-9X. They are reasonably priced, and if their new internal adjustment system lives up to claims/test results, it will be mechanically superior/strongerthanany other make! If their optics keep pace, they may have a winner.

For 350 you can get a burris fullfield II 4.5x14 scope with the balistic plex reticle or whatever its called. Would be nice for long range and comes with afree 12x24 spotting scope. I havent hunted with mine yet but it is very clear and bright. Might want to check it out.

I agree with the Zeiss. THough it might cost a little more than your budget but well worth it.

I like the Zeiss too, but I have to ask, what do you consider long range? 300 yds, 400 yds, 500 yds or what?
