I have a FA 7.5" as well with a 2x leupold on it. I really want to take an elk with it but I cant seem to get comfortable using the scope. I can hit milk jugs at 100 yards with it but not confident to use it on elk. Maybe a red dot is a better option? I had a BFR with a delta point on it years ago but never hunted with it. Got me thinking guys thanks haha
