Rifle setup

[mdfanatic1980]

I have a question about your rifle and setup. I'm just starting to look into this type hunt,; I've always been focused on mule deer and elk.

My question: what is a good setup these days? I have a 6.5 prc and 7 prc, but they're both equipped with NF scopes, turrets, etc. Is that what people are using for this type hunt, or is a lightweight Leupold with less magnification a bit more popular?

I'm just in the early stages of planning.

Thank you.

I switched to NF and Zeiss after I had several scopes lose zero after me losing footing, slipping, sliding, overall being a clutz. I don't notice the weight difference at all. If 5 oz difference is going to bother me I will eat my granola bar earlier in the day. However, I am certainly not saying anything bad about other scopes. NF's ability to keep zero was made for people like me.
