How far is the expected range of use for a 2.5-8x36 on deer or coyote sized game?
I usually shoot out to 200yds but have tried 300yds once. The duplex covers most of a kill zone sized target at 300 so maybe I will try a Orange paper plate next time I get a chance and see what I see. I figure a paper dinner plate is about 8". I've got some swinging steel I could shoot at too but I want to see groups. The first time I tried shooting 300yds my group would have been on a dinner plate. It was lower than my target but I was pleasantly surprised when I noticed it.
I shoot a 284win 22" barrel.(more like 21.5" actual but not sure what the standard way of measuring barrel length is)
I'd like to practice at longer ranges if its suitable.
