[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 178418, member: 8"] That seems like way too much magnification. I would suggest that you drop back at least one step if not 2. The 8-32X is tricky to use at best and it can be a pain at times because eyerelief and head position is very touchy at the upper end. I use the 5.5 -22X for 1000 yard F-class and believe it is about all a hunter really needs. Given that the 308 is at best about a 1000 yard rifle even for groundhogs I do not see the need for a lot of high end power in the scope. For deer hunting, there is not much need for more than 22X. Save a couple of hundred dollars and put it toward a good spotting scope or rangefinder. The 308 will drop like a rock in deep water. You will need either a canted base or Burris Signature rings with inserts. [/QUOTE]
