Hard to beat this setup, but it really depends on your needs, price range, etc. All of the major calibers out there are plenty deadly out to that range. If you really are going to be shooting out to 400yds you need to invest your money in optics - especially if shooting in low light. Leupold, Zeiss (conquest), Burris BlackDiamond are hard to beat in the mid price range. But you get what you pay for in optics.
I have a 3-12X56MM Zeiss and have to be pulled off of the stand in the evening. Is it necessary, nope. Effective, heck yes.
What's your budget?
