    I'm getting rid of the 3-9@42 zeiss as o want to to short, some of the hunting I do is closed in bush, and having to shoot no more than 75m.

    Other locations have closed bush and open, other parts are just open tops... so having a rifle for each and then a designated go to for all rifle seems to fill my empty spot.

    Your 3-9x42 would be a great fit for the 308. Its the size I would use. Leave it on a lower power as a default well suited to the scrubby stuff, then if a longer shot presents itself , you can "zoom in" for better accuracy.

    In some ways it is a pity the grendel s not the bush gun as the calibre seems well suited for that sort of range.

    The grendel will be a similar bush/toy gun. I havea 6.5prc for an all rounder, and a 300wm for a stretcher.
