.308 turret ring for shooting 6mm from 100 to 1000? Thanks in advance!

I've read the whole post. I'm asking about the offered Valdada choices of 50 BMG, .338 Lapua and .308 turret rings available.

No, I don't believe that any of the 3 mentioned (50 BMG, .338 Lapua and .308 turret rings available.) will produce the correct ballistic solution for a 6mm. - I have an IOR Valdada Terminator and IMO just go with the normal turret and then do your own calculations based on the ballistic parameters your loads produce. - To Many variables involved for any of these turrets to produce reliable "come-up". - I wouldn't even use that turret ring with the same caliber. (i.e. a 50 BMG turret ring with a 50 BMG rifle & load)

Thanks Ron. My confusion is that there is no "none" offered. You have the .308 turret ring?

@BartsBullets uses one- maybe he will know

I sell the scopes but by no means an expert on them. I use the Terminator for competition and use a ballistics program to figure out how to adjust them. 6MM is a pretty broad category. With a wide velocity range. Are we taking 6 Dasher, 6XC, 6BR, 6PPC, 6BRA? Lots of different BCs depending on the bullets. Not for sure how any ring could work unless it was for a specific caliber, velocity and BC !

Bob,
I'm not sure who you are (planning to) ordering your Terminator through, but when I ordered the one I have I did Not specify Any BDC type of turret ring. I just ordered it as a "standard 1/4 moa per click scope. - It came with a "standard" 1/4 moa per click elevation turret with a total of 100 moa of travel throughout, and I use it like all the other scopes that I run. - As Bart stated, I use a ballistics program to calculate the necessary come-up from my zeroed range.

I hope what I've said isn't confusing.

To follow up Bob, - No I do not have a 308 turret ring.

I didn't order it through SWFA but here's what I ordered :https://www.swfa.com/ior-12-52x56-terminator-tactical-40mm-rifle-scope.html

Back when I ordered the one I have the 50 BMG, .338 Lapua and .308 turret rings were not listed as an option at the on-line retailer where I ordered. - I would have preferred the scope to be 1/8th moa but it wasn't and as far as I know it still isn't (even though I've heard a few people state that it was a 1/8th moa).

I shot at E2K in 2018 and used a 1/4 moa Sightron SVSS and I had no problems keeping shots on the MR-1 target or for that matter smashing the pods of clay pigeons we used for warm-up sighters. 1/4 moa @ 2000 yds = approx. 5.135 inches and the target (MR-1) is 64" wide & 72" tall or there-about's.

The confusion was obviously my fault. I looked at Valdada's site and it was "required" to pick a turret ring. I did a more thorough search and now see that Midway sells the terminator with no turret ring choice necessary. Oddly enough one of the reviews at Midway claims that the scope is 1/8 moa adjustments! Thank you for the help.
