I have no problem taking shots to 300 yards with a 4x.

It helps alot that the loads I run match the ta-31 reticle almost perfect, but 300 yards is very comfortable in less the decent conditions, 400 is ok in ideal conditions and I do my part. I prefer the fixed 4x because Im not always worried about what magnification I'm on and upclose 4x is ok at 20 yards but closer and I end up point shooting.
Practical accuracy and a packable rifle.
Blued steel and walnut is always better.

I'm thinking my .243 can stay within a 2"-3" MPBR out to 250 yards, depending on my cartridge choice, and that I'll be able to treat it like a ray-gun inside of that range with the 1.5-4x optics. 

In thinking about some of the things you' and others have said, I decided to do some mathing today to figure out how large a coyote silhouette I'd have to have posted on a wall 8 feet away from me to give the same appearance as coyotes that are 10, 25, 50, and 100 yards away, and plan to use a few that I printed to scale to practice my acquisition from different positions with the new setup, to build some confidence with quick shooting skills and familiarize myself with the new optic.  Hopefully the shotgun skills translate decently well to the scoped rifle.   I may even incorporate my handgun.

Something may be wrong with me.

Thanks guys.
