[QUOTE="NomadPilot, post: 332897, member: 19896"] I'm friends with your outgoing AMLO (or one of them, I don't know how many you have). Small world. I think you mean 308 Winchester. Good choice for a do-it-all caliber. First you need to define a few things. Budget being the driving factor IMHO. Use being second. That will define what tier of scope you're looking at, and what magnification, turrets, and reticle you need. Leupold and Nikon are good value. Nighforce and US Optics are a step up. S&B is the "money's no factor" choice. There are lots of guides on this forum and elsewhere for choosing scopes. Read and search and get a feel for what's out there, then ask specific questions and the 12 lb brains on here can be more helpful. Lots of guys like something around 15-22x for maximum range shots. Paper shooters use scopes even higher than that. Do you mean an actual laser RF or a ranging reticle? I've seen a few laser rangefinding scopes, but they don't seem to have caught on so much. On the other hand, ranging reticles are quite common. Mil-Dot is of course the .mil standard. Most companies have a variation of the mil-dot that are a little more user friendly. My NF scope has their MLR reticle. I find it a little easier to read than the true mil-dot. For targets, 1,000+. For humane kils on animals, 500+.
