[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1905071, member: 229"] $550 will get you a lot of scope in the Vortex world. You can always turn a 20x scope down to 10x, but you can't do the opposite - just saying. Once you get past 300yds, 10x is miserable to me. I like as much magnification as I can get without mirage starting to become a pain - so depending on the weather, I crank mine up all the way and back down just enough to avoid the mirage. That being said, you got a good deal on a good scope, so you should be fine (just be prepared to sell it and upgrade when you start reaching out further than 300yds). Don't even waste your time bore-sighting. Concentrate on properly mounting the scope/base/rings and leveling it and then sight it in yourself (if you truly just want to test your abilities, then sighting in a rifle is one of those basic skills that will do you well to learn). Start closer if you can't hit the paper at 100 (like 25-50yds) and just get it roughly sighted in (.308 rises/falls a lot more than .223) on paper and then focus more on your fine-tuning and precision at 100yds (assuming you're sighting it in at 100yds).
