We were making hits out to 920 yds with it. The k16i is awesome. I really like it. But the ATACR 1-8 is better suited for a contact to 800 yd 308 carbine. FFP vs SFP, no matter at 8x as it’s apples to apples at full mag. The FFP in the ATACR 1-8 allows for an uncluttered reticle that’s useable at 1x, while only seeing the more cluttered Christmas tree at higher mags.
The only 2.5-10 that interests me is the nxs 2.5-10x24, but it’s not a very forgiving optic in the eye box department. A larger size 2.5-10 and I’m moving up to a 4-16 or similar.
