I've killed em with everything from 6cm to 338 rum. This year I'll be shooting a 22cm for open country cow hunts, and for thicker country a 6mm Saum with nose ring cut 115 dtacs at 3300mv. These are 18-20 in rigs with supressors.

Depending on where you are hunting, I would want a scope with lower power on the bottom end; 4x max, 2.5-3x even better. 6.5 is too much for the elk hunting I’ve done in Idaho. If you hunt well, your shot will be under 250.
