Flex tip for 35, sight in 3" high at 100 and you are only couple inches low at 200, which would be your max range anyway. 200 gr. FTX

I am really liking my levergun setup ...2X leopuld on quick release mount. When the snow starts , I pop the scope off and run the iron sights. Scopes pretty much suck in snowing conditions.
