It seem to be suggestions to start somewhere between a .2XX and up to the 7mm or even the 300. ZQ
Lewis did point out recoil to which in all honesty I didn’t really consider as I was focusing on something new and shinny, but I’d better see if I can manage the recoil of my 308 first. It does have a limb saver airtech recoil pad on it as long as a supressor so I’m hoping I’m still good.

I’ll definnately spend some coin on quality rings and optics. I want something that can stand up to some abuse if needed, so leaning towards a nighforce, SHV/NSX or Leupold vx5, or even a razor HD. But that will come slightly after purchasing the rifle, so I’ll read more before. Plenty of discussions on this forum on optic choices

Thanks Caberslash for taking the time to reply.

back up the truck....purchase one of them great scopes and fit it on the 308........scratch that itch...and it will still be there if you buy another bigger bangstick....and the 308 can have its old optics back and STILL be main hunting rifle,while new one becomes range rifle/safe queen as you realise the humble 08 will do the job and you can scratch it without having heart failure....oh and I own a Howa ,after disaster with old rifle I justified replacement and Howa fitted me well....oily rag takes care of rust.....
