Xenalo Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Ammo: I've always been a fan of Federal's Vital Shok ammo when I hunt. It's one of those "My dad always used it and it worked for him" kind of things. Truth be told, I've never tried anything else. Optics: I'm using the Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50 Long Range w/ Illuminated Reticle. It's easy to adjust in the field and I've used it for as close as 25 yards to just over 500 yards.
