Re: Scope for Rock River 308
What will he be using it for? LR target shooting, average range hunting, ??? For hunting whitetails in the Midwest, my brother has an Accupoint 1-4? that works well for those ranges (200 max maybe). I have a Nikon Monarch X 2.5-10 with 1/4 MOA turrets sitting in a Larue mount that's taking up space. This was on a M1A for a while and did great but I'm not well-versed in long-range engagements. For long-range stuff I usually default to the Mk19 on top of my truck
FYI, you should probably add something to your profile before you get piled on...

Re: Scope for Rock River 308
Does he want to work with MOAs or mils?
If he doesn't know, he may want to play around with the following simulator for a while and try both.

Re: Scope for Rock River 308
I have shot behind the Mark 4 some and it is a good scope. It should fit his needs with the target turrets. He should be able to get matching turrets and reticle also, which will be a big help with follow up shots and making corrections. The 4.5-14 would probably be ideal. Not too much magnification at the low end, but enough on the high end for longer shooting applications. If he is willing to look outside of Leupold, I would definitely consider some others brands to at least compare against the Leupold.

Re: Scope for Rock River 308
If your looking to pay the price of a Leupold, that opens up a very large market of scopes.
I personally would encourage him to look at the Zeiss. THeir turrets are MOA however. I would also look at the new Vortex coming out in a few months. If your friend is like me he may not want to wait though.
THe Nikon Monarch X is also a nice scope in that range. Also visit Euro Optics website. They are selling NF NXS scopes for $12-1300.00, which would also be a better option than the Leupy, IMHO.
