Picked me out a rifle for my birthday a nice savage .308 . So I started looking for scopes and Jesus I can’t make up my mind I’ve learned more about scopes than I ever wanted to know in the past 2 days . I finally had one picked out a Nikon prostaff 3x9x40 and then figured out Nikon quit making scopes prolly cuz they “woke up” 😑
Throw out your go to for me ! I’m not a freaking sniper . And I make an average wage . So I’m looking for something in the 100-300 dollar range that’s nice and dependable doesn’t fog up in the wee hours of the morning that I can bring home the bacon/ or venison lol

Although I am not familiar with the specific one Hop mentioned, I was also going to recommend the Vortex Crossfite line. Vortex has a rock solid warranty.
Scopes are one item where any extra money you pay directly translates to higher quality. That said, a Vortex optic will almost always be among the best quality items available at any particular price point.

Vortex Vanquish 3-9x40 will let you reach out and touch them as far as you want to. About a $200 scope. I have 3 of them, they are solid.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

I have a NIB (never mounted) Nikon Team Primos 3x9 BDC I'll make you a deal on! It's been sitting in the closet quite a while. The Team Primos has really bright clear glass. Great scope, just never used it.
