In blog 13, bastard scopes I have filmed hunting scopes with features making them suitable for longrange shooting.
I find that many hunters , or more precisely accomplished target shooters that also hunt, express interest in scopes that let's them shoot safely at ranges somewhat longer than normal when hunting. For these people a dedicated longrange scope might very well be total overkill or unsuitable or even a negative compromise on optical quality which is more important for hunting than target shooting. A hunting scope with features for longrange shooting (usually an external elevation turret) might very well be a better choice for these.
In the above film I look at a small selection of such scopes.
