I am new to this so if this question has been asked i apologize. But I am looking for a scope to put on a DPMS SASS 308. The gun will be used for hog hunting, and 400-600 yard target shooting. I dont have a large wallet so something fairly reasonably priced would be best. Does anybody have any suggestions?
 
Re: DPMS SASS 308

Just something that will work best for hunting and target. I dont really have any specific specs. I have looked through illuminated reticles and liked those. are they very effective or would recoment it?

This is the last scope I mounted on my SASS, before that I was running a SN3 3.2-17 Ergo

Re: DPMS SASS 308

On my SASS I first ran a NF 5.5-22x56. It was a great optic, worked well after dark. It was just too damn big for that rifle. I'd rather have gotten the 3-15x50.

Right now it sports a trijicon accupoint 3-9 illuminated .mil dot and it's good enough I supposed.

+1 on that. For some guys on here, $1500 is "reasonably priced". Others may not want to spend that much

Is the 17 power enough for your bolt gun? I have a 260 and need a scope too.

I have a 3.5-15x50 NXS on mine, and it's just about right for the rifle. Higher magnification is nice of course, but 15x is plenty to be able to score a hit on any real target that is "in range" of the SASS.

The mounting position seems quite far back to me.
How is it working out for you?
Nice Timney btw.
