shibiwan Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I've used it to 300. MRAD of course. Eye relief is generous. The newer EBR-2C (MRAD) reticle is busier but if that's good for you then go with it. Otherwise the EBR-1 reticle is really nice (but I'd trade up to the new 2C if I got the opportunity).

MONTANA308 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I run one on my 308 its an MOA shot out to 800 with it and spot hits out to a grand for a buddy. Mine is FFP. Love this scope. Have one more on the way but in mils. Scope has always tracked perfectly for the money they are very tough to beat. Imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't quite get situated right on it and kept getting that black circle effect no matter how much I adjusted the position of the scope. Took it back to cabelas and applied the difference to get the 6-24x50 PST Edited August 5, 2014 by shibiwan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirage can play havoc with that high of power without the ability to back it out. With an FFP, you will be surprised how many times you will look at the mag knob and see that you adjusted it back. That being said, an FFP isn't necessary for everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
