How far will it shoot at the first notch on the saft and how far should I expect to shoot set at the furthest notch? Also can additional bands be added?

It's got about 11 feet of line and it will certainly go the full length on either notch. The 2nd notch gives you more penetrating power and velocity for bigger fish. I usually use the first notch when going after reef fish like hogfish and the 2nd notch when I'm going after quicker and bigger fish like spanish mackerel. For a euro style gun like this you can't easily add a 2nd band - it would probably overpower the gun and result in inaccurate shots. With the one band it's a very powerful gun.

I would fire at 100 yards, Michael. But I have been bore sighting my firearms for years and I have had good success. Try it at at 50, see where you hit, then move accordingly. Happy shooting!

I ask the staff at my local range and they say to zero in at 50 yards. After you zero in at 50 yards, you should be able to make those long range shot at 200 yard. Not so sure if this will work for the 300 yard range.

I have mine mounted on a Weaver (made in USA!) 45 degree picatinny mount, so it is not in line for co-witness. Scope on top, red dot at 45 degrees, ready for anything near or far. (need a laser just for fun too)

You'll probably need something if your shooting under 300 yards. I always put a log or heavy rock on the stands of mine. It's the same where I live...mostly rock

The reticle is set up for 100 to 500 yards. However the average Joe will probably only ever use a scope to a max distance of 250 to 300 yard. After 300 yards you going to be doing a lot more calculating of windage elevation temperature and a bunch of other factors that the average shooter doesn't really know how to do

I am able to accurately hit a target at 60 to 75 feet. I am no expert with at all, but I do pretty good. I also use a black band that is stronger than the orange one.

I seem to remember it be in in the 12-14 range when I checked one fresh to answer the same question. However, to get a proper fit and action the slots will have to be filed down a bit no matter what, these TUSQ nuts start out very tall to allow for use in on a wide variety of guitars. I have had to sand off a good deal from the bottom and drop the individual slots on every one that I have installed. If you don't care about your action at the nut then you probably dont need to worry about the radius either, just drop it in there and go nuts (bad pun).

There is alot of adjustment room,, I have it mounted on my .308 & have made adjustment to shoot 800yards out, (just playing around).. When I shoot it at 100 yards it was at the bottom of target,, seems to have alot of play... I hit the 800 yard target..

This scope is best mounted on a 0 MOA rail. With is set up this scope will go form 100 yrd to 1120 yards with the turn of one dial. It took a while to get it set up and to understand and it works great. I took 3 other very experienced shooters to the range and they were hitting bull eyes with less than .5 moa at 200 yards with 3 shot groups shooting the rifle for the first time.. I take it to the 1000 yard range that has plates at 150, 250 300 500 750 and 1000 yards. This scope hit them all with a simple turn of the dial. Keep in mind it is not a long range target scope, but is intended to hit an 18" target all the time at any distance from 100 - 1120. This is designed to bracket and shoot at unknown distance. This is a very tall scope and I recommend a stock with cheek riser for final adjustment. The optics are clear and bright. Mine is mounted on a 700 in a Accuracy Int stock. The turrets will hold dope on up to 5 different bullet weight. I shoot 168 for long range hunting and 150 for targets. I would strongly recommend this scope for someone that does not want to spend time with dope calculators. There are many great youtube video to confirm and help you make a final choice.

4-600 yards is pushing it but it's a good start to dial in up to there. Also, keep in mind drop compensation and it might get you closer. Otherwise I would suggest slightly more powerful.

There are lots of opinions on that. Stick with the same length and weight bolt that comes with it (can't remember exact specs at the moment.) I've shot a few different types of 100 gr. broad heads and all flew with the same degree of accuracy.

I just bought mine so I don't know the complete range, but there are two flexible feeder tube sizes will handle both of the calibers you mention. Setup for different bullet sizes is fairly easy.

It only takes up 2 flats and 1 slot. If you're gas block is lower than your rail you may want to mount it further toward the buttstock end. It will be stepped down otherwise and you may have trouble zeroing. The idea being both front and rear sight mounted parallel to each other.

I bought the mount for long range and have fitted and used two different scopes in it. In order to use it at other than long range there are two options; dial your scope all the way down to the bottom and then start working up, using a BIG piece of paper or cardboard and start this out at 25 yards; this is kind of ammo intense. 2nd option is to mount the mount and scope using a boresight, or take it to a Smith that does that sort of work. I'd advise option 2, unless you're very experienced and have all the lapping tools, boresight etc. It's a good layout of money to have someone professionally mount the thing.

zero the center cross hair at 200, that should line the rest up for approximate ranges as markedit DOES depend on load and rifle however, will take some time and experience to match to reality

The farthest I've been from the flashes is about 200feet open line of sight. Most of my shoots are done much closer, within 30 to 50 feet.
