If eventually you don't want to cry three times I would save a little more and get a Leupold vx-3 2.5 to 8 best scrub bashing scope I ever used up here in East Gippsland you don't say whether you're stalking or dogging or both dogging I'd just go straight to a red dot preferably reflex sight

I’ve got that same scope, but on a 22. I have a Leupold 3-9x40 on my 22 mag, and I like the Vortex a lot better.

In all honesty on a 308 scrub gun for Sambar I think this would be pretty hard to go past .
