While not a "big scope", I did it with my Trijicon VCOG @ x6. Since I hadn't shot it at more than 200 prior to the match, except for a lucky hit @ 350, that's all I got. Beyond 200 I only took two shots at each target. Any more and I was just wasting ammo and burning more time than would have been added for a miss. Couldn't tell where they were going and I already knew that my rifle/ammo combo was going to be inconsistent beyond 200. It was an interesting stage. We had one in our group that got some good long-range hits but I don't know what he was using. I assume the majority of folks had issues since the final scores didn't include that stage.
