Fixed at 17-power. To be mated with a Rem700 .308. Purpose LR shooting mostly 300 - 900m, some 100 maybe.
Good scope/rifle combination? I'm trying, trying hard, to not cheap out on a scope.
I've used a 6-24x from 25-300m and 300-900m, and at 300m even 24x is decent, at 100m it takes way too long to find the target though. But I'm thinking 17x could be a good compromise, since it'd be much faster than 24x at 100m, and I don't plan to shoot at 100m much anyway. Sound logic?
At around 600m and so I've found that 10x can be nice, sometimes preferable to more magnification, but I'm thinking sometimes targets won't be the size of doors and marked on clearly contrasting paper, so maybe 17x would beat 10x, fixed power, for all-around LR use.
