I was behind the binos a few months back, while a mate flung 150g SST projectiles out of his 308, and his groups were well within MOA, at 1130yrds. All the observers were very suprised.

His velocity is 2880fps out of this


Then a couple of weeks later he bloody well did it again with his Rem 700P. (308)

The Claw has a Premier IIRC?

I went Nightforce as I got it at a superb deal at under half the cost of S&B from a NZ supplier and I feel to the general layman that there is really naff all difference in glass from what I've seen

I have a VX111 4.5x14x40 Fine reticle LR 30mm tube with M1 Turrets on Elevation and Windage for sale that would fit very well on your 308. Get you out to 1000yards on steel no problems , 100MOA up and side.
However, not in the class your looking at. But less than 1/3rd of the price,

i currently run a swift premier 6x24-50 which would probably get me there but it is certainly not the clearest when you start getting abit of
distance
dont mind spending what i have too to get a good product that will out last the rifle

You wont go wrong with a march...... Its awesome allrounder and im not gonna list the good points cos its alllllll good..
Cant comment on the premier its at home but its still in the package and im at sea grrrr I wannna play with my new toy.....

One of the PM11 range, I had one here for awhile that belonged to another forum member and was very impressed, have since looked thorugh it mounted on his rifle looking over a hill side and am still impressed, however I have never looked through the Premier Reticle or March scopes, Nightforce I have.

Brt aussie for march and eurooptic in states for premier...... Check out the sites
