Thread: Leupold VX5HD 2-10 ZL2 Firedot

Z5i 2.4-12x50bt 4Wi reticle. Another option maybe?

Got the vx5hd 3-15 on my 16" 308 Tikka and I find it works well . I don't think 2 at bottom is really necessary , 3 works fine , at the cost of losing 5 at the top in my opinion . Never noticed the suppressor in sight picture at 3x .
Slightly off topic but I found mine didn't like the heavier rounds and seems happiest with 150's . I put it down to a slower twist rate in the tikka and lower velocity at 16" ?

Every rifle is different as far as what it likes, but in theory a 1-11” twist 308 will easily stabilise 178gr match bullets, and a 16in barrel should be ok as well. Mine shoots the eldx exceptionally well from a 19in barrel
