This rifle I will use it mainly at firing range, targets every 100m – max 1000 m, with unlimited access to the area. Shooting from bipod and bench rest. Ammunition from a very good quality FMJ 308 BT to match federal matchking, Ruag, Lapua, 168 gr, 175 gr, 190 gr, etc |

You may want to have two scopes for that gun one for target and one for hunting and it would be less expensive in the long run. I would go a very high power scope for distances over 500 meters and a hunting scope just my 2 cents

The problem with having 2 scopes for one gun is, you have to rezero it everytime you switch scopes.
Hassle. |

Urimaginaryfrend has a very good point a target scope is useless for most anything else. The scope I use when I am hunting more than any other scope is a 2&1/2 power to 10 power with a 40 mm objective swaro and most shots are made at power 2 to 6. I live in very open country. Sometimes I have a portable benchrest set up and then I will use higher power scopes. I change my scopes around on my rifles frequently so I don`t feel it is much of a problem to rezero at the range. I would still give some consideration to the IOR 3 to 18 power not some much for the 18 but for the 3 power in close range. http://www.swfa.com/pc-10168-292-ior-3-18x42-tactical-35mm-r ifle-scope.aspx
Let use know what you decide on, you are considering some great equipment.

One more scope you may want to consider is the IOR

I would try to go to a store and ask them to let you take the scope outdoors and look through it at high and low power, they may want something for security like your driver liecense but if they know you are a serious buyer they should be willing to let you do this.

Thank you my friends for your help. I am in contact also with many others shooters from all over the world and believe me I am confused! Many contrary opinions, other same. I have seen many photos, reports etc, I don’t know what I can do! I have made 1 step forward and 2 back…!!!! I will flip of a coin! IOR it is a Romanian European manufacturer if I decide to go with her will be easy to buy directly from the company or representative. It is very difficult as far as I know to buy gun part from Edited by Kons |

steyr probably has high enough adjustable comb to cover the scope, but your neck may give up, changing the scopes would be a small problem in relation to tracking the loads and their impacts, particulary if you are unable to duplicate by reloading. if your not required to 308 is not the best long distance choice, us gets you 5x just as euro gets us 5x huh. something to check out before you buy.

I am not a shareholder of any company; I prefer European optics for only one reason because I can’t buy from With the possibility in the future to change caliber, but not a scope. Usually you are married the scope especially if it is good. We don’t have here the big weapon & accessories market as you have. For as is more difficult to have weapon in our possession.(Politically Correct !!!, look what hapenend to the British IPSC shooters!)
My first choice was US Optics (Model: SN9 3.8-22x58) with the exceptional personal customize scopes and Leupold as a second. Before 2 months I was try to buy 1 post sight for a AR15 from a big internet shop. After 1 month of waiting my order, they update me with many excuses of why can’t sent me my order!! And the delay goes on; of course I have canceled my order. I have many friends in USA that can sent me anything that I need, but I want also to be legal in Europe, that’s mean a lot of paper work for import & license, plus money to extra taxes (about 25%), time for that 2-4 months. Does anyone will try to buy something after that outside of Now for the scope, I have understood very well all the parameters of the scope and thanks for that, you give me new "optic angle" .
The best compromise will be the as a 2nd 6-24 x 72 and 1st the 4-16x56 or I can spend money and loose money at every change, I can’t afford it. If you have only one instance to buy rifle scope for your weapon with the best compromise, witch mean “something for all purposes” what will you choose?

You make me to laugh a lot, really a lot. But I am thinking that some times the bigger woman is hotter something very useful at winter nights, she produce more heat. With your help I have understand and convince me about the 4-16 power. Soon I will buy the Hendsold 4-16x56. |
