I have no problem with my SWFA 10x scopes out to 800 yards. I haven't tried further because 308 and 223 rifles are difficult beyond that for me.

The $400 Savages are accurate, just not easy to be accurate. A heavier rifle with a wide foreend will be easier to benchrest with. That's why a couple of us have suggested an aftermarket stock. The ones with an aluminum bedding block screw on. Takes a minute.
