    I think bush hunting you also have to take into account branches/twigs etc that may be in the flight path which heavier projectile are less effected by

    Starting on first and last names now??????

    Buy the Leupold 2-7x33 on here for $250 and some leupold rings - Bloody good fit for a 308 and keeps the weight down
    Better scope than these combo types IMO.

    I reckon TyrinnS made a great choice for a first hunting rifle - so many options for a scope and they will all do the job - just buy the best you can afford and you will have a great rifle

    Dougies on deer number 5 and shes writing the book! Ask me how many deer I've lost with the .223!

    Daylight kills deer. The more daylight you can put into them then quicker they die. Use as much gun as you can handle!

    100 percent agree Brads. Sample of one isn't very scientific.
