[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 61495, member: 25"] Jimmy, The larger MK4 M1 tactical style turrets can only be fitted to a 30mm scope. If your scope is a 30mm model you could get Leupold or Premiere Reticle to install tactical turrets. If you have a one inch scope with target turrets you would probably be OK for learning the basics. We need at least 40-45 minutes of available elevation to get the various .308 bullets out to 900-1000 yards. Available elevation is the amount of UP left in your turrets after you have zeroed at 100 yards. We increase the available elevation by using sloped bases, get an additional 20 moa or even more by using forward (downward) sloping bases. Good luck on your venture. The .308 is a great learning platform - once you get some knowledge and confidence you can decide to hunt with the .308 or go longer with your magnum. Deer die very quickly out to 650 with proper bullets from a .308, after that the energy delivered poops out pretty quick. Bullet drop is not your enemy, the wind is your big challenge for long shooting. [/QUOTE]
