hangunnr Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Been wanting to get a few more X's onto the 308. Earlier I'd moved the Leupold Mark 4 1.5X5 over to the S&W M&P 15. After a little looking around I believe I found the best scope (within my budget) for this platform. This Leupold Mark 4 M2 3.5X10 w/TMR reticle is just about perfect. I like the layout of the reticle. It should make ranging very easy. While out I also got the 470 Capstick out to stretch his legs. Unfortunately getting on paper at 100yds wasn't all that easy. The front sight is too high and will have to be changed out. With the rear sight at it's highest set point the 510gr hardcast were impacting about 18" low... Also took along the 45-70 SSK Contender. Even with the limited field of view with the 2X scope, holding 3" at 100yds was possible. It was an absolutely perfect day to shoot, 55degrees with a little breeze at our 6. Wish I'd of taken more toys with... hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Sounds like a beautiful day to be out shooting, not likely we will have any days like that here until fall. Nice .308 setup there Charlie. Hoping dpms orders get filled a little quicker than expected and I get my .308 this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adjam5 Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Some nice toys there;). It looks like it was a fun day for sure. Have you shot any game with the Capstick? I am curious as to what it does on game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Nope, no hunting with it as of yet. Still getting the bugs worked out. New front sight inserts will be here this week so hopefully that'll cure the elevation issues. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
