[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 784895, member: 35183"] The M308 is not a "long range" scope. With only 40 min total elevation travel that gives only 20up or 20 down give or take a bit to zero in the first place. So the M308 is a scope you mount on a zero degree rail and it will top out around 700 yards max. Otherwise one is looking for 10 minute rails and the like - unusual stuff. Any decent scope should have at LEAST 60 MOA of travel and the Vortex scopes have 75 (the PST have 75 elev and 75 windage). A good option if you are on a tight budget is the Viper HS in "long range" edition with a capped windage turret, open elevation turret and SFP "Dead hold" reticle for $550 at opticsplanet [URL="http://www.opticsplanet.com/vortex-optics-viper-hs-4-16x44-long-range-scope-w-dead-hold-bdc-reticle.html"]Vortex Optics Viper HS 4-16x44 Long Range Scope w/ Dead-Hold BDC Reticle FREE S&H VHS-4305-LR.
