Makes sense. Thank you. @sq40 Uhm, your scope has side focus on it? that is an adjustable objective or parallax adjustment...

It’s kind of funny. I’ve been shooting for decades, but never really had scopes. Irons or holosights. In the last few years I’ve started into optics. First with a Leupold VX2 3-9 CDS on my deer rifle. A VX Freedom on my 10/22. Next a VX5HD on my 35 Whelen Chassis gun. I bought this VX3 for my project .308. But after buying a Trijicon Accupower for my AR, I think I want to get a Trijicon 6-24 for the .308 (American Action, magpul stock, timney, RPR barrel cut and threaded 16”) and put this Leupold up as a spare. It’s a great scope, but I want to really try to get better at range. I think more power will help me group tighter. Anyways, this is my VX3,
