Looking for a scope on a 308

[CaptainMal]

e between hunting whitetails in Georgia and elk. You have a 308. An elk is big and that would limit your range. Too many here are overthinking this.

For little more or under $200 Burris, Leupold/Redfield make great 3-9 scopes with a lifetime warranty. 3-9 Burris Fullfield killed for me at 410 yards on my 338. Handles the wet well also. Think less, shoot more. Buy a Burris or Leupold/Redfield 3-9 and enjoy the hunt.

I purchased a Ruger Standard 308 22" 1:10 twist for white tail in Georgia. But I would like to go Elk hunting.

Any recommendations for a scope that's $400 or less? (Sorry I'm cheap. But after buying 3 guns and ammo. The wife gave me the "look" last night).

I have no clue about scopes except for what people handed me to go hunting.

Thanks,

Scopes long gone

If you can find one, a Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9 should do the trick. If you can find a VXIII, all the better.

If your shooting not much more than 100 yards why do you need a scope? When I used to hunt deer in PA most of the guys said they only needed the scope to see if a spike deer looked like the horns were long enough to be legal. The lens aways fogged up from my breath.
