So I'm looking for a scope to put on my varmint 308 and looking for opinions on what to go for.
The rifle is ordered and is a howa varmint 24" 308 in the bell and carlson stock.
Going to use it for targets past 500, and want to work my way up to 1km
And will be shooting pests mostly from a ute.
I've found 3 scopes I like being-
Leupold mark AR mod 1 6-18x40
Meopta meopro 6-18x50
Vortex viper 6.5-20x50
I'm heavily leaning towards the Leupold as i have 6 lower end Leupolds and i just always find them to look clearest when i compare them to mates vortex diamondback, or bushnells and so on.
And i also like that it is 40mm not 50mm.
I'm wanting to stay under 1,000. My wife has a nightforce shv 5-20x56, so if i was going to spend closer to 1500 then I'd just go for another shv.
So whats your opinions on these scopes or others around that range? Anyone have experience with the glass quality in these scopes?
