In photo,blue aim point.green last fmj,red my last ssts shots.9pm got home bugger but please with my results.I give the 308 a wee wet patch and clean.Go back out to the range for a final wee group of hunting shots with a stone cold barrel.Big thanks to sneeze for his advice and me for listing which can be hard to do at my young age.

Nice work. They can be frustrating but good once you come to grips with the system. The last step is to calibrate the E zoom if you haven't already done it. It prevents changes in poi when you shift to a different zoom in the clip. Its the function on the sub menu after the zeroing function. You can do it at the dinner table with the attachment fitted. Pull up the function and a white reticle will appear, just shift it with the x and y axis till it lines up with your day scope reticle then lock as per the zeroing function. If you don't use the electronic zoom and stay on the same stetting you used to sight in then its not an issue but Id do it any way. Note that the e zoom calibration will not lock to the profile so if you change profiles you need to redo it each time. it only takes 20-30 seconds so a bit annoying not a big deal.

Ok il look into this sometime,i dont use clip zoom,lot quicker to dail up day scope a bit.Zeroed clip with day scope on3x,dont go to 4x,5x much on day scope.I do like dialing up the day scope without affecting the clipon settings.
Cheers.

Done E zoom,easy as,tryed cross hairs on bird on back lawn,zoom up n down,cross hairs moves all over the place well away from bird.Move ezoom cross to day scope cross(locked in),zoomed thermal up n down,cross stayed on the bird.Makes a deer look easy.Good stuff.
Thanks again sneeze.
