Took me just 2 rounds to zero prone @ 100 after boresighting off my neighbor's garage roof peak. Easiest scope in that regard that I've used, including the PH 3-15X50. Eye relief is great. So I took my other 8 rounds I had left for this rifle and went over to the 300 yard range. It had rained all morning so I was hoping there would be a nice puddle under the gongs. Here's my little video. I edited it down so you don't have to watch the paint dry, but left misses in there. This is an awesome scope, considering first time out with it and I ran the 300 yards back to the benches after hitting record and started firing 72 seconds later. All shots were taken in under 3 minutes.

Sweet! The "know your limitations" gongs are cool. And the effect is multiplied with the water.

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

The problem I have with exercising is finding somebody big enough to chase me...

Nice Jon. And a grazed 2" gong is a hit in my book.

What rifle were you using? That's cool, hitting a 2" plate at 300yds.
Was that you filming in the pits in one of the other vids?

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I had the .308 5R out, shooting 165 gr. Accubonds. I set up my camera about 20 feet away on a tripod, then zoomed in a little...didn't want to get it wet. What I found surprising was that the camera audio doesn't really pick up the thunk of hitting the gongs. At least back 300 yards from them the sound reverberates pretty good.
