Thread: Scope choice for both 308 & 7RM

Gday,

I have a family friend travelling to the states over the next 4 weeks, he has a license which enables him to bring back rifle scopes without any issues.

I have a Sako Bavarian 308 that I would like to dedicate to bush hunting, would like some recommendations for a low powered scope that'd be suitable. Shooting a maximum of out to 150 I would say. The little VX-3i look quite good?

Also have a 7RM which I have setup as a mountain type rifle, carbon stock etc. Currently has a 3-9x42 but thinking it would be fun to have something along the lines of a 3-18x44 for some longish range shooting. Wanting to keep this as light as possible. This rifle will be used most out of both.

Looking at the VX-6 3-18x44 & Swaro Z5 3.5-18x44. Not sure which reticle I should be considering with either..? Or if I should be looking at another brand/make.

A lot of info there, but any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks
