Trying to decide here on my scope purchase. Rifle if a Winchester 70, Ultimate Shadow in .308.

I do plan to add a Manners MCS T w/90% carbon fiber for weight savings later on and more than likely stay with the stock hinged floor plate (hunter) If, if i did any DBM, it would be the FN DBM or TBM. And then I would decide before investing in a stock. Slim chance of the Eberlestock chassis, but don't see it due to cost.
Provided the stock barrel is a shooter, it will stay. If not, I will change it to my liking and maybe do a 20"

Hunting area is short, maybe 150 max, although I can be going to other areas and possible double that.

So, whatcha think? BY the way, they are way off on the fov at 100, it should be 112/57 at lowest power.

Do the 2-12, its hunting gun. On 2X you can pick up game easy in short range. 12X will give you reach for future or for even shooting groups to test accuracy.

That's been my second thought since I've been picking this set up. I was going to do that Extreme Weather rifle, but didn't want to pay extra for a stock, etc that I might change later.
I'm doing the Talley one piece aluminum rings. Debating on the CHing Sling.
