Looking for a scope for my 308

[The_Hunter]

As the title says I am looking for some new glass for my Savage 10fp. I have a POS tasco that isnt holding zero anymore and its time to replace it. I really don't want to spend more then 250-300 but will spend some more if I have to.

I would like at something with up to 24x magnification, would like a mill dot reticle and side duplex adjustment. Anyone have any suggestions? I was looking at the Barska and BSA scopes but I am a little worried I am just going to be doing this dance again in 2-3 years.

Check out Vortex scopes.. I think they might have something in that range. I would say a super sniper.. but the prices have gone way up on them, however you might be able to find a used one. I think 16x is as high as they go though.

Another great scope is the Falcon menace... It is a MOA scope.. if you can get a moa reticle instead of a mil.. Just my opinion.

Check out reviews here..It will help. Are you trying to do long range shooting? Sniper Central - Scope Reviews

I would advise against BSA, Tasco and Barska. Everyone I know who has used their high powered scopes has been disappointed. I’ve got a Nikon 6-18x40mm that I bought new for $200-250 for a few years ago that has been beat up, taken through hell and is still holding zero on top of a Savage 10fp of mine. I’ve also got a Millet 4-16x50mm that I picked up new for $200 a while back that has yet to be used, but I’ve been hearing good things about them.

osprey 6-24x50mm, 30mm tube, side focus, and gathers light real well at dusk...

under 200 if you shop around... i just put one on my AR and i like it. Also has mildot reticle, with RED and GREEN illumination, with adjustable brightness.

very rock solid scope.

Did yours come with a sunshade? Do you know if they make one if it didnt come with it?

Recently I was pleasantly suprised to find that Academy Sports is now carrying Redfield Scopes. Leupold is now manufacturing them. I've heard nothing but good things about them and they are well priced. When I finally buy my new rifle that is what I will mount on it.

Redfields are comparable with a Leupold VX-II, and carry a lifetime warranty for the original owner. They only go up to a 14x though.

As far as scopes are concerned, if you are doing long range shooting, buy a good scope and don't be afraid to invest a little.
