it mostly for Elk in the mountains with thick trees and where most of the shots are fairly close. A 3-9 would work for me also. I always carry them set on their lowest settings or close to the lowest power, so I could get by with a straight 2, 3, power scope. Like others have said it all depends on where and how you hunt with it. On my 25-06 and 257 Wby I use on the desert at longer ranges I use higher power scopes, but still normally carry them close to there lowest settings. That’s what I do for my hunting. ( I should have said what I use to do, now I mostly hunt with a handgun.)

Another question, is a 3x9 or 4x12 scope better for a 308? (nm) - SPB, 2018-01-30, 09:10
