WTB a 300 Yard Scope for .308

[Nolacopusmc]

I am looking for a solid scope for my new DPMS Panther LR-308. I would like someting that will give me good clarity out to 300 yards. Most of the shooting will be within 100-200 yards.

I admittedly do not know a lot about scopes and magnification power. I would like to be able to clearly see the target at 300 yards, and see the holes in the paper at 100-150.

I am looking to spend no more than about 300.00

Does anyone have anything like this for sale?
Are my expectations realistic?

Thanks.

I have a Super Sniper 10x40 on my LR-308 that I love. I can spot holes in white paper against a dark background out at 100yds, but it sounds like you're wanting something stronger. SWFA has a 16x40 for the same price. It's pretty clear glass for a $300 scope and although it's fixed power, it's durable as hell and a good reputation.

If you're looking for a variable power scope, then look at the Bushnell elite lines of scopes. If you won't be using the gun for hunting, then it sounds like something between 10-14.5 max magnification will suit you.

I think you need to be more specific, the Marines teach us to put rounds on mansized paper at 500...


One of the Goood Leupolds would be a good place to start (Not the Wallmart VM3's)

More specific about what?

I know, I was a PMI.

I put a Leuopold Mark IV LRT 4.5X14X50 on mine and couldn't be happier...course it's about 4 times what you want to pay....buy once, cry once I say Scott

Now the real question is what the hell do I put on the AP4....Not sure what would be best on a carbine .308...

buy quality and cry once.

I regret I must do this to you -

Since we're blowing the $300 limit out of the water I'll have to whole-heartedly agree with pangris' recommendation. If you call and get your order in with Becky before this evening you can still catch the 15% off sale. Then you can put THAT $300 back in your pocket!!

I have had good luck with Meuller:

I don't think you'll find anything better in your price range, unless you get a steal of a deal on something used.

Your wife might actually go for this. Tell her that instead of spending $300 you actually SAVED $300. She'll be thrilled.

If you can spend $400 I can recommend the Weaver T-24 and T-36. I have used it (T-24) at 100yds and can easily spot 22 holes. Have also used it for F-Class at 600 (no I can't see the holes at 600 but the scope works great for that application). I have used it during July and have had no problems with not being able to see the target due to mirage. It is a fixed power scope my thinking is fewer parts should equal fewer problems. I have seen it used on rifles ranging from 22 thru 6.5-284's with no problem. Prices for the T-24 are around $399 and the 36 for $425.
