I'm taking my Savage in 6.5 Swede out to WY this Oct. and I have a Leupold VX-II 4-12X 40mm mounted on it. I just recently got it back from the Leupold custom shop where I had them put target turrets on it, and a custom vertical bullet turret for the bullet that my Swede shoots "the best".

I've been practicing this summer shooting at groundhogs from 300 to 600 yards with this set up and feel very confident about taking a pronghorn at long distance, even with just the 12X maximum scope.

FWIW
