Primary arms glx 2.5x10 . Guns purpose is to shoot accurately with bdc out to 600. I am not very knowledgeable on scopes as in ohio you never really have a far distance to shoot. I hope it’s adequate. Gun will be suppressed. My first suppressor to. I’m hoping to get advice and read so I don’t make any silly mistakes. I appreciate your help thanks

Just looked up the specs looks like your scope has 125 moa interval travel so you could do a 0 or 20moa and be fine. 125/2=62.5-20moa=42.5moa-15moa or so for a 100 yard zero=27.5 moa left of unused down travel means you should have 125-27.5=97 moa roughly of available up travel which is plenty for most calibers to go away past 1000 yards

Not sure what part of OH you are in but there are a couple really awesome places to shoot long distance that I know of there. Have you done a quick interwebs search to see if you are close to any of them?

I did a while back I’m a long way from them. I happen to be lucky enough to know 2 farmers. 1 has a flat area to about 650 yards the other is up on a hill looking down I’d estimate it at 800-900 yards.
