[QUOTE="jtmoose, post: 1217873, member: 87081"] I'm looking into a scope for my short barrel 308 timber rifle. This is my all purpose rifle. It is short and light for the mountain timber and brush and also a range target rifle. I do not like magnification above 2x for still hunting but I also want to go out to `800m at the range. What different variable ranges might fit the bill? I don't anticipate needing enough power in low light for a larger objective so I would like it to have a modest objective lens to mount it low and and a shorter overall length. So far I have found: IOR 1-8x26 Nightforce 2.5-10x32 Vortex 2.5-10x32 Burris 1.5-8x28 Leupold 2.5-8x36 Weaver 1-7x24 I don't see much need to spend over $1,000 keeping it under 10x power. Some of the ones listed above have different features adjusting the price within such as FFP, illuminated. Neither required but are both nice to haves in my book. I feel like I have looked through so many but am probably missing a great option or two. [/QUOTE]
