    Mrfants liked post by woods223 On thread : Difference for velocity and range - 20.4" vs 22.4" barrel - 7mm 08

    Carry out a test as I suggested earlier. Until you do that you’re just guessing where pattern is going in relation to your sight picture. It’s not rocket science. If necessary go to a clay target...

    Carry a 600ml bottle of water just in case. Usually just drink from streams etc if needed as and when I come across them.

    If you’re willing to spend about 2 thou on a scope the GPO Spectra 1-8x24i would do everything you want. Nice and compact compared to 3-18x44i. Matches Howa Superlight well.
