Got a new .308 and $200 to spend on a scope. Which scope??

[Pineywoods]

Nikon all the way

Absolutely...best bang for your buck in that price range in my experience

[Speedgoat]

Burris

Vortex has unconditional lifetime warranty. If you throw it on the ground and beat it with a hammer send it back they send brand new one.

Nikon, Redfield, or Burris FF1 as stated above. I'd get which ever I could get the cheapest. I have all of the above, and I enjoy them all.

This is what I got for my .204 I purchased it with rings for under $200.00, I didn't need mounts as the rifle had the already. So far I have been very happy with it. It is clearer than my wifes Nikon.

I am becoming a Redfield fan myself so that's my vote

This is one of my favorite scopes. Plus, you cant beat the warranty

Arrowsmith could probably get you a better price

Vortex has unconditional lifetime warranty. If you throw it on the ground and beat it with a hammer send it back they send brand new one.

But is their glass any good? Scope hold up to recoil? Hold zero?
You know.... The important things a scope should have?


I'm just poking fun


With your price range of look at a 4-12 prostaff or 4-12 diamondback
Heard good things about the primary arms lineup but never had experience with them

Get a Redfield Revenge 4-12X and call it good.

Made by Leupold, and to me, the best bang for your buck. I have 2 Redfield Revolutions and a Redfield Revenge. The Revolution is "the next model up", but I honestly like my Revenge better. I have the Revenge on my Tikka 22-250 and I love it. I like being different too, but hard to not like a scope made by folks as successful as Leupold for $200.

^^^^^THIS^^^^^
I have 5 of the newer made by Leupold Redfields and they are all performers for the $200 range. The Leupold Rifleman also can be had in the same price range.
These are great American made optics for the price range you are looking in.

[rockyraider]

Just checked Cabelas, Redfield Revolution 3-9 is $159, 4-12 is $209, both on sale. Order it and call it good. I have the 4-12 Revolution anda 3-9 Revenge and they are both very clear and shoot well. Several other Nikon and Burris on sale if the Redfield doesn't tickle your fancy.

[LWD]

At that price Nikon Prostaff.

Save a little and wait, I just bought a Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42 for 299.00 with sunshade from bhphotovideo.com

[Lone_Wolf]

Thanks for all the input. I think I'm going to check out the Redfield. I've always loved Leupold scopes.

[Lone_Wolf]

So checked out the Redfield and was impressed. Picked one up, now I just need rings and bases......thanks again.
