Caliber specific scopes

I bought a cabelas caliber specific scope for my 308 AR. No where can I find the ranges for the cross hairs and circles. Anybody know?

ranges for your cross hairs and circles will be largely decided by the type of ammunition you shoot. you will have to pick a type and go to a range that has targets at several different intervals to find out where exactly your rifle i shooting. youll also want to make sure you have a spotting scope because it would be a pain in the butt to shoot then walk down to the target all the time. my recommendation for your situation is to buy a few different types of ammo and test all of them. Ive never heard of a caliber specific scope that you could just buy and mount. I know the people who made my scope Schmidt & Bender would do a turret job tailored to my rifle and round.

It sounds like they
set it for Remington 150gr core lock ammo with 100 yard zero but that is all the info they give.

Caliber specific scopes are a marketing gimic.

Here is the info they give:

abela's Caliber-Specific Riflescopes at a 100 yard zero, next line should be 200 and then after that it should go in 50 yard increments all the way out to 750.
