Thats what I intially thought. Ive talked to Mike at Tier1 and a couple other instructors and they said they have no problem smacking steel at 1000 yards with this magnification level. 

Thanks for the compliment. 

Yeah, for shooting something larger like steel silhouettes, I can agree with that.  If you want to shoot 1 moa (or better) at longer range, you're gonna need the extra magnification.  There are other advantages like reading wind near the target or mirage better or easier ranging using the reticle.

After way to long, I finally got to shoot her. Hot and humid day at R14 but it was fun. It took more than I would have liked to get it zero but eventually got there. I had previously looked down the bore and tried to dial the scope so i would at least be on paper but I was shooting high and it took a while to figure that out. Never shot a rifle like this before but I'm happy with the results. I'm definitely the weak link in the system and can tell this rifle will be wayyy more accurate than me.

This was the first real group I shot for once I was close to getting it zeroed. Just over 1 MOA @100 yards.

Confirmed zero group. Ignore the shots below and to the right of the blue circle. Those were from earlier in the day when I was trying to get the shots on paper. .75" at 100 yards

I adjusted the trigger a bit when I got home. With a little more practice, I see no reason I can't get this thing down to under .5 MOA.

Went out the other day to confirm zero before class next weekend. I think Im set. 140 ELD @ 100 yards

Note: The red X's are from me shooting the AR with a T1 at 100 yards unsupported. Those are not from my RPR.
