    Burris eliminatar scope i had,zero at a 100yds.Program in yr BC and bullit drop at 750yds,say 308 ssts 165gr about 155inchs drop.Test fire at 750yds on big target,see what drop difference is,if any just adjust drop number in scope.Scope comes with 750yds drops for just about every bullit you can think of.Bullit drop for 308 sst 165gr wasnt far out,depend on length of barrel and yr shooting at 750yds.
    Trouble was as soon as you pointed rifle up a 45 degree hill,the computer would cut out.Yr data wasnt high enough for steep angle.Scope better for a 338 to take data angle.If you shoot inside 300yds most of the time,save your money,buy a ordinary day scope.

    Reading both posts it looks likecan automated bot, possibly trying to harvest some text to put on a clickbait site. Maybe found the original question as a common search term somewhere.

    Here in NZ we have elves assigned to scopes to do all the trickery for the owner. A hobbit sells them to locals at a good price, no exports, sorry.
