Hey guys

Just wondering if a 308 ballistic reticle scope can be used on a 7.62x39 rifle???

It will be used anywhere from 50y-200y no more.

Too much bullet drop to use it or will it be ok??????

You'll need to test fire at various ranges to find out what the various aiming points/crosshairs correspond to. The longer the range, the further off the graduations will be. Once you know the distance each crosshair is zeroed at, you're all set. Really, you should do that even with a rifle in .308...the markings are a general guide, but can't be exactly dead-on for every load/bullet weight/barrel length even in the cartridge they're calibrated for.

Awesome. Figured I would have to do that.

Thx!!!!!!!!!!

You don't need a ballistic reticle to shoot 200 yards with that round....
