Recently picked one up in .243 for purposes of Bambi ventilation out to about 250 yards. I'm curious as to what your experience with it may be. I just got done throwing a vortex crossfire II in 6x24x50 onto it. Had it zeroed for 200 with a cheapie, but parallax was horrible. I'm thinking it'll work just fine, but already lustiing after a 700 in the same caliber. Hmmm... I do like the trigger, and.the compact lop, just not sure.
