ok so i'm looking into getting some good glas on my tikka t3 308, so ive got a budget of 1500 and seriously looking into importing from the states but there so much selection, i would like a high poowered scope say 6-20 power or more if my budget allows, and as for reticle i'm up or suggestions ?
so far i found these ones
Zeiss Conquest 6.5-20x50 Riflescopes and Scopes
Bushnell Elite 6500 4.5-30 X 50 Black Matte, Mil Dot, SF, 654305MD, Rifle Scope, MAP: Arcadian Sales
and have some change left over for a rangefinder!
What do you want to do with it? Are you looking for long range capability. Do you want every last second of fading light? Ziess glass is real nice but there durability isnt that flash. Id compromise the glass a little and go to a vx3 for hardiness and the ultimate warranty. You need to decide what you want from it.

having 6x as your lowest power on you .308 would seriously limit it's versatility.
i'd love long range capability but i fear if i have that will i compromise on close shots as most hunting in nz is around 100 meters i'd hate to have a scope that can handle long range but be frustrating with closer shots ? what do you guys think of Sightron Premium SIII Scopes and Riflescopes
If you're ever going to hunt the benches and scrub, you need to get down to 2 or 3 power. Or do a 3-gun type rig and run a Docter or C-More STS type unit mounted above or at 45 degrees but that'll just be more crap catching the brush as you stalk.

I think theyre awsome. You can get the superslams too with 4-20x or 3-15 range quite usefull good dialing ability aswell. If your after the one rifle to do it all then make sure the low end mag isnt more than 4

Bushnell 6500 hand down
I agree depending on what the intended use of the rifle is? Long range only, multi purpose bush and LR, Target etc?Quote:

or
Bushnell Elite Tactical 3-12x44, G2DMR, Matte | Rifle Scopes
LR
Sightron SIII 6-24x50 LR MRAD, Mil Dot, Matte | Rifle Scopes
or
Bushnell Elite Tactical 6-24x50 FFP, G2 DMR, Matte | Rifle Scopes
If budget allows and to cover all bases then this.
Bushnell Elite Tactical 3.5-21x50, G2 DMR, Matte | Rifle Scopes
The 2.5-16x bushy would sufice. The one with turrets

I put a VX3 4.5-14x50lr on my 308 thinking it would make it more of a do all rifle.
Yep it can do pretty much all but its big and heavy and 4.5 is doable in the bush but 2 or 3 is much better.
Eventually Il put this on something else and put something more light and compact with a lower low range on it.
ok so still deciding on which scope to get but when i do buy one do you just order it and then once it gets here you pay duty on it ? whats the process how much extra do you put onto of it for gst etc ?
There is a couple of shops in NZ to try first to some give good pricesQuote:

They beat some prices than you can get them in for:) An have a few there in stock but get them on request
so its between sightron and bushnell but i keep finding myself looking at the sightron a little more like this one Sightron SIII 3.5-10 X 56 Black Matte, Illuminated 4A, SIII3510x56LRIR4A, Rifle Scope, C/O: Arcadian Sales
cant go wrong with a bushy elite or sightron broski! if u get an elite get the turret model for sure
Bushnell Elite 6500 2.5-16x42 Riflescope & Tasco Trail Cam Combo - Natchez Shooters Supplies get a free budget trail cam with this one. the turrets can still be dialled
ok so you guys seem to love your bushnells and i bet they are great scopes but i'm loving the sightrons warranty lifetime but not only that they replace your scope with a new one if fualty not repair it etc so i'm a little sold on sightron after hours of looking at different scopes i've decided on the sightron SIIISS3.510X44 but there one more problem there 2 models one with Click Value:.1 MRAD or Click Value: 1/4 MOA this is the one i want correct ?
Sightrons are great too
It depnds will you be ranging in yards or meters.
I use moa cause its what I understand and havnt learnt the other system

yep ill be getting a sightron too when the time comes.
Mil/mil is the way forward.. Much easier to work out off the bat....
Plus the world seems to be going the metric direction......
Yea but i got shooter to.do.all the work for me.
So mil mil.s just meters and mil dots?
Wats a.milrad is that the metric version of moa
