Thread: Thoughts on 308 Setup

Hiya.

I have a 308 in Remington 700 with Southfort Labs CF Stock & CF Barrel with Timney trigger. It's very mellow to shoot and doesn't need a brake or suppressor. Tidy rifle and very light.

I have recently acquired a new VX6HD 3-18x44 CDS model from the states for a steal.

I regularly hunt tahr and have never needed to shoot one further than 400yards. I have no real interest in shooting beyond 500/600 yards.

I am looking at running factory 178gr ELD-X and sending through the data to have my custom CDS setup. I'm not interested in reloading at this stage.

Is it overkill using this scope with this calibre? Will this calibre be suitable for my needs?

Any thoughts would be appreciated
