Hey Dave
Next step (IMO worth what you paid for it) would be to get a chronograph and see what you are actually getting in velocity. Then if you are a reloader you can start bumping your velocity up to get more out of the scope.
My Nosler manual lists some loads in 308 win with 150 gr bullet at 3000 fps (with Varget). SO if you could bump your velocity up (carefully and looking for pressure signs as you go), you should be able to reach 2950 fps or so and then your recommended power setting would be 18 POWER
Much better and 18 power is plenty of magnification for seeing targets waay out there
Just sayin
