Preferred Scope for a .308?

[fisherman21]

I picked up a .308 this winter. Just wondering what magnification scopes you guys are putting on your .308’s?

I've got a higher end scope for sale built (reticle) for a 308, so obviously that one.  pm if interested.  First question would be, what are you using the rifle for?  Hunting deer in thick woods or ringing steel at 1k?

I would just be using it for deer hunting

Budget?  What features are important to you?  Set it and forget it?  Turret twister?

I put a Nikon ProStaff 3-9x on a .308 Thompson Venture.  It is a good scope for the price. Sometimes I wish I had 4-12x and a higher end, better light grabbing scope, but this scope has not let me down at all.

I bet you can get Nikons cheap now, as they are no longer producing rifle scopes.  For hunting around here, i'm still a Leopold guy.  I bet you can get a VX2/VX-ii 4-12 for under $250 or so if you look hard enough.   A lot of people will say go Vortex which isn't a bad option, but I prefer leupold of the nikon and Vortex I have for hunting.
