Rifle Scopes Looking for a scope

[BBURCH]

I just bought a 5R 308 and I haven't decided on what scope to put on it yet. I am looking for something that will serve me for both hunting and target shooting.

Any thoughts

What distance? What price range?

Re: Looking for a scope

Distance you plan to shoot/hunt? Budget? Is weight a concern?

Distance, I would like to be able to run out to 500 if I need to but mostly 300 or less,
Price, Im not trying to break the bank but I am looking for a good scope so anything that is reasonable.
The weight isnt a big deal at the range it is in a bag and for hunting I ride the 4wheeler out and only walk about 50yds to the stand so not to worried about weight

I also may have a shot that would be at 600-700 yds and would like to feel confident with that range as well

If all you will do is shoot under 700 yards it will not be hard to find a decent scope. Do you want a first focal plane or second? Mil or MOA based scope?

6x SWFA SS on the lower end... 3-9x on the higher end....

Im looking for a MOA based one.
Im not sure what the focal plane is.

I have been looking at the Nikon M-308.

If you are wanting to stay in the $500 range and have an MOA based scope I would say the vortex viper pst 2.5-10x44.

reticle and adjustment match.
it is second focal plane which is not bad for hunting
