    Yep this^^^ but 1/4 to 1/2 a turn is way too much....an 1/8 to 1/16th a turn at a time or you can end up with excessive headspace and case head separation issues. Sent from my S60 using Tapatalk

    These days my main work rifle is a .223 , over 20x rounds gets a bit tedious with a .308 these days. However, I have owned and used .308's for 42 years for hunting and target shooting out to 900 yds....

    Not really a reason to have one is it :P But I do love my little 3 banger.....and target shooting aside a nice compact 308 slinging 150+ at deer under 200 is pretty hard to beat

    If you're going to do all your shooting within 200m or so, 3-9x40 is perfectly fine (and more magnification than you really need). Instead of going for more zoom, perhaps go for a lower zoom, but...
