Rifle Scopes Scope recommendation for a .308, need help to choose one, quarantine has made my brain numb

[miscexpense]

I never thought I would have a hard time figuring out what optic to get...... I have a rem 700 aac-sd .308that I bought a few years ago. I am only using it suppressed and my thoughts are I will let my daughter use it this coming Whitetail season. Someone throw me some recommendations for a new optic. I don't want to put one of my PRS scopes on it due to weight and $$. I bought a vortex diamondback for my .22lr and was possibly thinking it might work but haven't seen many reviews on them being used on larger calibers. I like MOA for a short distance (sub500 yd)

Check out the sale doug at cameraland has on the bushnell nitro scopes, priced right!

Have been seeing some Leupold vx5hd scopes for some really good prices. I have one on my 6.5 cm hunting rig and it’s great

I’ll pull up these. I’m pretty sure the leupold may be more $ than I want to put in to a short range rifle. I’m with you there on the quality though. I put a vx6 on my 300wm and was floored at how clear it was. Trying to keep the price under 1k but would like to have it under 500.

My friend just a few weeks ago won a vx5hd on gunbroker for $675 give or take a couple bucks

How bout a Leupold VXR 4-12? Great glass little cheaper than the vx5hd

I have a vortex diamondback on my 700 in .308, no complaints.

I'd suggest that you take a look at the Bushnell Forge scopes that are going for some great prices on Natchez and Midway. For the price, I haven't seen anything better currently.

This weekend through May 28th there's a $150.00 savings on the Athlon Helos BTR 6-24x50 and 8-34x56 Riflescopes.

Like mines too, but no illuminated reticle can be an issue
