[QUOTE="TnTom, post: 444673, member: 21944"] Thanks Wayne, It is a 30mm tube and my understanding is a 30mm tube will have more travel than a 1" tube. The scope according to Bushnells site has 50" adjustment Im guessing that means plus or minus 25" from center. I found a ballistics chart on the Remington site that shows a .308 Remington Express has a vel. of 2620 fps at the muzzle and with a 200yd zero the drop is -49.9" at 500yds Im interpreting that as meaning if the scope were zeroed at the bottom of the adjustment at 200yds and cranked to the opposite end of the travel it still woundn't be adequate for the 600yd shot holding on. It would require an angled base to accomplish the task with any shot over 500 yds. A 20deg base should probably keep the scope off the extremes. Just thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
