Thread: What scope for bush through to 500yd bunny's?

This has probably been asked a million times but what scope would you use on a Kimber 308 to handle everything from bush to 500yd bunny's? I'm thinking 2-3x at the bottom end & at least 12x at the top & dialable. Scopes that come to mind Swaro 3-18x44BT, March 2.5-25x42, S&B 3-12x50 PMII maybe leupolds VX6 2-12x42 or 3-18x42 CDS. I think 10x at the top end won't be enough to clearly indentify a bunny or magpie around 500yds. I don't really want to drop a heavy scope on the trim rifle either & completly destroy the balance either. Before you ask yes 308's make great bunny guns Your thoughts gentlemen?
