Hello,
You shouldn't have any problems getting to those distances
,bvut just a quick note. 65moa is total adjustment, so in a perfect world(not consider bore to scope height)you will have 32.5 elevation and then 20 more if you use a 20moa base. Although since this is not a perfect world these numbers can very greatly depending on things like- how true your action/base are, scope to bore height, bore curvature, barrel to action face trueness etc...... Either way you should end up with enough elevation for your 308.


What is your 1000yd dope?

I set up a customers 308 with that scope and 20 moa base. Didn't have any problem getting on at 1000. That scope is one of the best you can get in that price range and Vortex customer service is absoutly top notch.

with mine, 20moa base, i have "about" 53 +- usable MOA with a 200y zero... this should get you out to 1500y i think...

Ive got the Mil version, but I have something like 19 mils left with a 20MOA base. That should get a 308 to 1300+ yds no problem...

I have only used my PST 6-24x50mm ffp one time but so far love it! I have a Savage F-T/R in 308, EGW 20moa base and Badger .885" rings...using my FGMM 168gr 100yd zero, I have 43moa UP left (based solely off of the turret travel. I plan to test the actual dope here in a week or so with some 155 scenars.

I absolutely love my PST 6-24x50mm FFP.

I have it on my Remington 700 LSS 257 Weatherby Mag.
