So far I’ve been keeping it to 300yds (MOCP, minute of clay pigeon) and in though I should still be just over 1800fps at 400 with the 178 eld-x. That will be my end goal if I keep the barrel at the stock length. The main purpose of the rifle is for solo sheep hunts though anything up to elk is an option.
I have a similar scope though I’m not a fan of the tiny objective. I have found that 90+% of the animals I’ve taken have been at first or last light and a larger objective is always welcomed. I’m keeping an eye out for a vx1/2 2-7x33 to try out. If I don’t like it for this rifle I have another 308 hunter on stand by that is going to get some work at some point.
