[QUOTE="trebark, post: 421421, member: 19172"] The scope I initially put on my 308 was the Bushnell 3200 fixed 10x. Made the choice based on this article: [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/low-priced-long-range-scopes.php]Low Priced Long Range Scopes[/url] Turned out to be a great choice. It performed well (clear optic, easily adjustable and repeatable knobs) and I bought it on ebay for $165 NEW! My Rem700 SPS Varmint in 223 now wears the 3200. The next up in quality/value would be Nikon. Although, IMHO, the best value is the Sightron SIII series. You can pick-up an SIII for ~$800 [url=http://swfa.com/Sightron-SIII-Riflescopes-C176.aspx]SWFA Sightron Riflescopes Sightron SIII Riflescopes[/url] The SII Big Sky series is pretty nice too and they are less expensive. Other than my 223, all my rifles wear Leupold MK4 or VX3 scopes. (my 280 wears the VX3) [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-updated-32771/[/URL] My recommendation, as I believe many of this forum will tell you, buy a scope that you can get by with, then save your money and buy the best optics you can.
