[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 913560, member: 34084"] I've got a few minutes here and there, so I'll respond in a few posts. Your plan to use a .308 for learning/training is a good idea. I don't know of many shooting schools that teach long shooting with a BDC reticle. They either teach dialing elevation and milling reticles, or perhaps Horus reticles. Check into that with your school. I'm not a big fan variable spacing BDC reticles a for shooting over about 600 yds. Even though the Zeiss reticles are subtended up to 800 or 1,000 yds, they tend not to be accurate at all ranges for most cartridges. The Rapid-Z reticles are better than most though. I think they work well or ranges up to about 500 yds. The Nightforce, Burris E1, and Meopta reticles are also great in this application. The rapid-Z reticle is a good choice for your 300 WM hunting rifle, for example. I'll get back to you shortly about scopes for the .308. [/QUOTE]
