Picked up a model 7 in 308 with the 16.5” barrel. Thinking about running a low power sfp scope or maybe even a swfa fixed 6. What’s mounted on your model 7?
 
I somehow ended up with a Sig Tango 1-6 power. Threw it on the same rifle you got as a mess around gun because I have a butt ton of 308 to burn. One of my buddies at a training event made a first round hit with it at 800.

Been looking at the crossfire how’s the scope for the price?


Garbage at any price. Or I've only looked through bad examples.

IMO, Nikon or Athlon are the go-to for cheap glass. I have a few Nikon's that were sub $200 with glass i can actually see through and they haven't been back to get fixed because the reticle fell apart. The more Vortex stuff I see, the more broken scopes I see. I've gotten rid of all mine and won't touch anything unless it's a razor.
 
I have a CDL in .243 win with a Burris 3-9 on it, it has the BDC reticle which surprisingly works well out to 300 yds.. This was my first rifle purchased over 10 years ago. Its a light contour barrel and usually shoots 1 moa on factory ammo. I started working up hand loads to see what i can get out of it as it sits.
