Not sure. I want to shoot 300yard bench rest but then again I do a lot of woodchuck control so 22-250 or 243. Not sure I’ll be around here to do benchrest so probably do a varmint caliber.
Cool, I may still have a .243 barrel around, I'll go look later.
Yeah, and I'll put the mark 4 in a pair of vertical rifleman rings, cause I roll like that lol.
I’m so busy with work and school it’s just a day dream for a year or so.

do the 243 u get better barrel life and the 58 grainers a 4000 are nasty and shoot stupid flat. i like 22-250 as well.

Neat scopes, I have 3 Mark 4s over the years . The first was a 16x I bought for a .50 BMG rifle I had the bug for 20 years back and it was very good for that purpose . I gave it to my son to put on his 5r .308 Milspec 700 I bought when they first were available and I added Badger metal pieces to it and bingo when I went over 70 it became too heavy for me 
to field other than a range toy. The next was a 4.5-14x one like yours but with illumination I got used like new for for $800 a couple years ago and put on an AR10 .308 build I finally completed after becoming an Oregon resident and it is every bit as good as I had hoped for for that build and sits in the Oregon safe sighted in with Federal 168 Gold Match , which is my standard for .308 accuracy guns . All my handloads are dialed into the Mark 4s when shooting handloads ect. and logged and placed into the stock bag , thats where these Mark 4s excell ! The last one came on a surplus PSS 700 ex local PD sniper rifle and is an early 3.5-10x model with M1 turrets and I removed it and put it on an old Rem. 722 in .223 that needed a scope upgrade .

Very cool Gordon!
I should have it all mounted up in the next week or two and then it's off to the range. I may drive the extra way to get where I can shoot out a bit just to see how well I like dialing for drop with these nicer turrets.
Oh I was wrong about the reticles, they arnt mill dot they are a proprietary variant (that I still need to read the manual for).

. The good part is you can reset to zero when sighted in at say 200 yards and from then log clicks come up , or down, and windage. With that data taped on the stock you can dial in a first round hit on a ranged target. If you use a range finder you don't even need mildots

Sounds like a good deal all around! My Mk 4 scope is long gone, but I still have a set of Mk 4 rings doing duty.
