[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2804624, member: 118823"] I have never shot that rifle so I can't speak about it opinion wise. The 308 is still an awesome accurate caliber. My 14 year old just bought one. It is in a Savage tactical and it shoots very well. We still need to get about another 150 rounds through it to break it in fully. I had a 30-06 and a 7 rem mag. We are both loving the 308!!! So I think it is a great choice. I only have two "quality" scopes. One is the Meopta R2 and the other is a Swarovski Z8i that I bought my wife. When it comes to clarity and low light capability they are almost identical. My two boys and I have compared them side by side in the evenings off of our deck watching our cows and calves out to about 200 yards. The Swaro has maybe a minute and a half advantage of shooting time as it gets dark. Now that being said it usually gets to about 45 minutes past legal shooting time before these scopes become unshootable. So in reality neither has an advantage over the other.(legally) The Swaro maybe is a little better edge to edge as you look at the extreme edges of the glass staying perfect, but again I bought my Meopta for my old eyes that are somewhat affected by pigment dispersion glaucoma. I wanted brightness as light fades at dusk. It has been awesome and just plain blew my brother in laws Leupold vx5hd completely out of the water at dusk in side by side comparison. Five of us all agreed it was no comparison. With my Meopta at 600 yards I could still see detail on individual soybean leaves and tree leaves. The Leupold "died" about 15 minutes earlier than my Meopta. Details totally faded out and then you couldn't tell trees from the beans and then blackness. My Meopta still had individual leaf definition. [/QUOTE]
