OK- I have a rem 700 ltr 308 win. Waiting on a tax stamp for my can. Will run sub sonic rounds. Range 150 yds or less. What day scope would you use for this application. I think the NF NXS 3.5-15 I currently have on the rifle is a waste of good glass. Your opinions please
Thanks

If your only looking to shoot 150 yds or less Id go with an ACOG. I have one on my M4 and its good out to 500 or so and NV compatible, goes really nice with a PVS-14...Im a dealer for Nightvision Depot so if your interested lit me know. Howard

That is not totally correct. Magnified optics dont work well with PVS-14. You POI is way off. To have a "day scope", you need to have a PVS-22 type NV to mount in front of your scope such as NF, USO etc.
