I think I consider this lens the perfect focal reach on the mirrorless body as a sports/wildlife rig. I loved the IQ I got from the FE70-200mm F4, but there were many times I had to skip an opportunity while out birding or shooting wildlife because it just didn't have the reach. The FE70-300mm loses about a stop of light at the long end, but that extra 100mm on the APS-C body is absolutely perfect - the lens is a reasonable size and weight, and excellent IQ. I can still play with the Tamron 150-600mm when I really need reach, but the native lens is fast, stabilized, accurate, and comfortably hand-holdable all day.
Here are a few samples I've taken with the A6300 and this lens, for an idea of how it performs:
