I've got a Savage Model 10P 308 coming for my new mid-range deer rifle.
I consider mid-range 200-600 yards and was wondering for those who do shoot deer that far what magnification range of scope do you use? I had a 2.5-10x on my last 308 but was thinking 3-12x this go around. What say you, pics please. Old Marine

I have no problems with 600m shots with a 4-12x50. On 10x a 150lb. deer looks like it's at 200m or so. Way close enough for a precision shot.
I was down on the tracks the other day, and watched 4 different bucks walk across right at 600m.. 603m to be exact, and was pretty shocked as to how easy it would have been to drop one on 9x.. |

12X would be plenty.

Looking at the Nikon Monarch 3, 3-12x BDC, any thoughts on that also considering a few options from Burris.

If you can hit a deer at 100 yards with iron sights the view should be similar with a 6x scope at 600 yards.
A variable scope that tips out at 10-12x should be fine. |

Last year I did dial it up to 10x for a 265yd shot on an antelope. I usually only go up to 12x when shooting diggers. |
