Thread: Scope change on my .308. Input welcome.

Nice and simple 3-9 on both my rifles, the second hand Bushnell I picked up on here for $400 has better clarity than the Redfield that came with my 22-250 but both do what I want at a price I can afford. Sure better scopes exist and one day the Bushnell will go to the 22-250 and the .308 will get something else, but that's probably a couple of years away at least.

3-9 was the go to for years for a lot of hunters.

Greetings @Micky Duck and all,
My thoughts exactly. I was going to suggest a 4x32 fixed power scope for the west coast bush hunting mentioned by the OP. I se others have followed your lead.
GPM.

The Pulsar is a nightmare to set up...for me anyway.
Working out how to go through the menu and set up profiles for zeroing at 100m, 200m etc. Bloody hard to do at the range when you take shots and have to step back from the bench after everyone has their shots. I ended up taking it into R&R in Rangiora and they set it up at 100m.

The first thing I had to do with these rifles was go to the range to find out where my BIL had them zeroed at. The Creedmoor is set at zero stop for maybe 4 inches high at 100m, it's around 1-2 inches high at 200.

100m.


200m.
