[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1190204, member: 8873"] I have a buddy that purchased one about 7 years back. I mounted the scope and did some initial load development. It shot fairly well with both 168 and 175 grain matchkings. Both .5-.75" @ 100 with very minimal work. I just loaded to mag length, ran the powder up till I got the slightest sign of pressure then backed it down 1 full grain. Loaded as such for both bullets it shot better than my buddy so he ran with it. It also shot the Remington 168 SMK factory ammo just as well during the barrel break in. As for the 16X Leupold it's a good scope, especially if it's an original ultra. As a target scope it will take you out as far as your .308 will go, both in magnification and probably in turret adjustment range. For a hunting scope it will limit you. From my own experience a 16X has too small a field of view for any close shots and the exit pupil can limit your low light capabilities. [/QUOTE]
