I've been shooting with mine in the 300 to 400 yard range with similar results with a .308.
 
Very impressive. Great scope and easy to use.

I did the 50 turns per knob when I got mine last week to work the grease
in. Wednesday morning it was 50 degrees while shooting and the knobs did stiffen up some but I still felt the clicking (but did not hear it as much)

I like the side paralex knob but find I have to be more careful about setting rifle down. It seems with the rear adjuster you could just lay your rifle down on the left side with out much thougt.

I would definately consider the rear focus for a second SS

Mine is a rear focus.
 
I actually put off buying a Super Sniper because I was very skeptical of the rear focus but didn't want to spend the extra hundred just for the side mounted knob.
 
After being dissatisfied with other (more expensive) scopes I figured I might as well try one and am glad I did.

I'm not familiar with Osprey products but 10-40X is seriously over-kill.
 
I'd go with a fixed 10X S.S. or if you want a variable and are only shooting a few hundred yards as you stated, a 2.5-10x42 mildot Nikon Monarch will work well for about $400 or  maybe a 4-16X  mildot Bushnell Elite 4200.

I have the 16X SS and love it.  It sits on a my Savage 12FV in .223.  I love the rear ocus as well.

Well, the first thing I would ask is what is the application of the scope?  If you say paper puncher in daylight hours, I'd say 10X SS if you are more of a low light hunting situation I'd op'ed for a variable like the nikon or 4200.   So first tell us what you will do the most of and go from there.

Yeah, I have a few thoughts on that statement, but the forums potty mouth fliter won't allow me to elaborate......Big%20Grin
 
The Savage LE is a good rifle. Wicked accurate out of the box.
Go for it and the 10x SS.

The Super Sniper can be a very good scope. Make sure you check it out very well. The Quality Assurance for some reason is not perfect on this scope. Most are very good and reliable. Have you guys seen the new 3x9 variable SS? Pretty cool. Cost is about $600
