Thread: What scope for my 308

I was going to save this scope for a small rifle, 22 or 223, but maybe it would do the trick for a 308, at least for a start?

@Philipo...what a GC!
That scope is perfect for what you are wanting to do, IMHO. I have one of those on one of my rifles and it's taken quite a few tahr, chamois and reds without any issues. Pretty light too if you're climbing mountains. Also has a lifetime warranty IIRC. Use it and put your money into other gear, as someone up there suggested ^

hopefully, it will have the Bushnell rain guard coating on the lenses which is the bee's knees in wet conditions water will just bead off the lenses and you will not have to wipe the lenses bring the rifle to the shoulder, and see the target/deer pull the trigger job done instead of the deer running way while you wipe the lense
