Look at Athlon scopes... really good bang for your buck. I have a Vortex $900 scope on the 308 and an Athlon $400 on the 6.5cm. Honestly, the Athlon out performs the Vortex in my opinion.

I've decided to go with the Ruger Precision Rifle in .308. That way, my next upgrade could be to .338 Lapua Magnum. But first things first. Gotta get the RPR out to 1000yds on .308 175 grain. We'll see.


Hopefully, I should have it ordered within 1 week.

Awesome and good luck hitting at 1000. The furthest I could somewhat consistently hit with my 308 was 900yds with a crosswind of 10mph average. Not saying it can’t be done, just that I couldn’t with my rig.

Even so 900 is still a long way. Been working a couple of years to generate a 200 yard range. Using the lay of the land but still alot of cutting and slashing down where I can't get my tractor.
