i agree.. I have nothing but leupolds and nikons on all my rifles. But was just wondering what everyone is using to get the most out of thr 6.5. It is a nice long range round and i dont want to limit it. I have places im looking 500+ yds

At 500 yards you will be more limited by your DOPE and shooting fundamentals than your scope. Are you planning on dialing in yardages or using subtentions to hold over at 500? Maybe I'm out of line but if you don't have enough experience shooting past 200-300 yards to know what type of scope you want you probably shouldn't ethically be taking those shots. Dial in a max point blank range for your rifle and keep your shots inside of that range unless you can practice a lot and learn the proper knowledge base and shooting fundamentals it takes to hit a 9-10" kill zone at 500+ yards. That means practicing the shooting position you will be using in the field not sitting at a sturdy table sticking your rifle on some sand bags and shooting at a static bullseye 500 yards away.
