Thread: Bush hunting scope, 3-9 x 40 or 5-15 x 40?

the answer to that is obviously the leupold

I tryed bush bashing with my 4.5-14 over the weekend incase I saw something on a corresponding hill side
Im going to go boring old 3-9 or 3.5-10 for my do all rifle for out 400 ish max range(243)

and if you want to get fancy down the track and stretch things out further fit a cds dial to the leupy

I would consider 5-15x overkill on the rifle you describe no matter where you are hunting. You are unlikely to be shooting at anything small enough to require more than 9x magnification on a 708 with a 20" barrel.
