    ... Matty, its a funny one.
    See, I love my side focus as I do mainly open plain hunting and have time to adjust.

    You may want to forgo this as you are bush hunting? But you mention 500yd shots.. I would get something based on what you will be doing "most" and gear up for that. I have a 3-9*50 for my bush hunting.

    Not necessarily bush hunting. Can't really be bothered with that. But, yeah, I'd like to use it from anywhere from 50m to 500m. So would you suggest AO for that or not? Want an all rounder.
