[QUOTE="abinok, post: 716585, member: 6346"] Almost any modern scope will allow you to shoot your 308 to well past 600yds. If the scope won't you just need a different base that will allow you to use the scope's range of adjustment to its fullest by adding hight to the rear of the base... which translates to having more "up" moa in your scope. I would highly reccomend you have a look at another forum: [url]http://longrangehunting.com/[/url] This is the definitive site for longrange shooting in the usa... non sanctioned target shooting excluded. I setup a savage 112BVSS some years ago as a switch barrel platform for various longrange tasks. I have used the same rifle to score hits on prarie dogs, with 4 different calibers at ranges I am unwilling to discuss on this forum. The critical info needed in selecting a scope for LR use would be: 1. What is it going to be used for? 2. how far do you plan to shoot? 3. How much do you want to spend? My first suggestions in response to these questions would be: 1. Figure this out... its most improtant.... 2. You will want to shoot further eventually than you do now. I know of a fellow that had good succes with 308 at ranges up to 2600yds. 3. With price... plan, ask questions, and be flexable. The easiest way to fix the LR shooting problem is to money whip the optics issue... but there are plenty of good deals to be had, even as low as the $250-$300 range... but ill tell you know. LR shooting is about the most expensive portion of the shooting sports one can get into. Feel free to Pm any specific questions you may have... [/QUOTE]
