    Q: Heavier Profile & Flute, or go Lighter profile for same weight...???

    Scope questions.

    I have a 308 FN SPR with a 6x24x56 MOA crimson trace optic. Weapon zero is at 200 yds, I run out of clicks on the scope close to 1000yards, what can I do to gain additional yardage? I have high rings on the scope, close to 150 clicks up and 100 down is what’s left.
