Like i said i am willing to spend 600$ now because the Rifle scope i get will go on my .308 build when done. I also know 600 is not a whole lot of money but i am not competing any time soon…. You’ll want more magnification than a 1-4x in my opinion if you’re looking for tight groups at LONG distances. A 1-4x is great on a 16″ battle rifle IMO but that isn’t going to be a varmint rifle. I currently have a 3-9×40 and I want more magnification than that. Once you start checking the prices of Rifle scopes that are over 3-9x you’ll see that the price scale jumps pretty damn high. Get the best that you can afford and you will not regret it. A wide magnification range is ideal IMO. Keep in mind that you may want to shoot at closer distances sometimes, so you don’t want your low end of the magnification to be real high. I’ve had my eye on the Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21X 50 and the Bushnell 3.5-21×50 Elite Tactical. That’s a hell of a magnification range. It lets you shoot close and far. Yeah i decided to go a different route…. Those are nice but very expensive….. TY for the info…. chito24
