Scope Reccomendations for Lever Action

Bdc reticle isnt needed for under 200 meters. 308 is essentially point of aim at that distance.

Good point...just thought if for some reason I had to take a longer shot it would help take out the guess work........but come to think of it I am not sure I have had to take a shot longer with any firearm yet really.

I have a Burris Fullfield II 3x9x40 on my 300wm its been bulletproof, no fogging in the rain, never had to adjust it. Great scope and a true lifetime warranty, that is transferable or so they claim.

Thanks for the info...see what other recommendations and reviews I get, currently I have an offer for a trade on a Burris Fullfield II 2x7x35 with burris rings......I have never owned burris, but willing to give it a shot if the reviews are decent.

I have a Leopold 2 x 7 on my BLR. I'm a Leopold fan. I always considered Burris to be a lower end scope but I think that has changed in recent years.DSC_2493.jpg

Thanks Roper.
One of those things where you walk in a store, without really knowing what you want and it just jumped off the shelf, and screamed "buy me/mine".

I would mount that scope on that rifle in a heartbeat. I had one on a Win 70 .257 Roberts and foolishly sold it with the rifle. I presently have two Leupold 2-7X32 Vari-X II scopes I use on Savage 99's and Marlin 336's and IMHO the Burris offers about equal performance at a lower price point. It also has a feature I like, where you turn the entire ocular bell to change magnification, instead of just the mag ring. VERY handy when wearing gloves.
How does THIS sound? If you get the Burris on a good trade, try it and see if you like it. If you do, great! If you don't, I'll buy it from you for what you have into it. Seriously. I could certainly use it!
I bet you won't want to sell it.

I would put my vote in for a Nikon.
I have a Monarch 3-9x40 with BDC reticle on my .270win and love it. - clear glass, doesn't fog, bright at dawn/dusk when light levels are low, accurate turrets and adjustments, holds zero. The BDC reticle does take a lot of guess work out of it for hold over at longer ranges... me personally, I would rather have and not need, then need and not have.

2-7 power is OK, but having that extra magnification really does come in handy - seeing groups at the range from the bench without going down-range to check, positively identifying an animal at a bit longer range (age, gender, size, etc.), shooting smaller targets like coyotes, etc.

If I didn't have that Nikon, I would buy a vortex, leupold, or bushnell elite.

That's my $0.02 worth.
