DPMS 308

[Bill]

Looking for a decent scope for my 308. It's only a 16" barrel so it's not going to be a long range toy, but does need to get me out to the 300-400 yard mark. I would like to stay under 200 bucks. Any input would be much appreciated.

Vortex

perhaps the Diamondback model

+1 on this- I have a 3.5-10 x 50 Diamondback that is perfect for intermediate ranges like that.

I have been running one of these on an ar15 i shoot a bunch, its tracked well and the glass gets the job done. FFP mil/mil , decent scope. If you dont spin the knobs, the redfield has about the best budget glass but lacks features.

Thanks for the info. Academy has the nikon monarch 4x12x40 for about 150. Any info on the optic?.

I have quite a few Nikon but all .223 stuff. Never any issues and I like them

Here is a little relevant link although consider the source.

You can't beat Vortex warranty. As quick as Leupold. I had a 2-7× that I got on a trade. The magnification ring was faulty, due to being over tightened at some time. They sent a new scope within a week. No questions asked. No receipt either. I use Leupold whenever possible, however I have no problem with Vortex in use either.
