I am looking to upgrade the scope i
have on my 308 bolt action rifle this gun is mostly used for target shooting and hunting
from 100 to 500 yards looking to stay around $350 and would last forever some of the features that i would like
variable power 4-12 would be good mill dots target turrets would be nice but not a deal breaker i am mostly looking for a good value i have been looking at Nikon Prostaff Rifle Scope 4-12x 40mm Mil-Dot Reticle Matte $219 Nikon 2.5-10x42 Monarch Riflescope $299 Falcon Menace 4-14x44 Tactical 30mm Rifle scope $359 Primary arms 4-16x14 illuminated mil dot scope $160 any help would be appreciated |

The Nikon 2.5-10x42 Monarch would be nice as well as the Vortex Diamondback. I would skip the Falcon.

I would strongly consider adding $50 to your price range and looking at this:

I know this is over the price range but I'll show you these so you can weigh the decision on possibly spending more to get more scope.
