After much thought, frustration, and dissapointment in the availability of left handed guns, I have ordered the new Kimber 8400 in .270 WSM in left hand. Availability to be early next year. I have not ordered rings yet because of the scope decision. I have recommendations for the 3x9, and 3.5x10 range. Majority of my hunting will be on the east coast. I think the 1.5x6 range would be okay on the right coast. I dont understand the field of veiw entirely. Also should the 1" vs 30mm be part of the scope decision? Will the field of view at 6 power be different for a 1.5x6 vs a 3.x9/3.5x10. I believe a 6 power will be more than adequate for any shot up to 300 yrs, better than my skill at this time, and if I ever get to go hunting in the west, I will just have to justify a new outfit. I am sure my wife will understand (maybe). Thoughts on brands is welcome also. Thanks for advice.
