A quality 1-6x would be my pick for 300 yard max.
The Vortex Razor Gen II or Bushnell SMRS would be my picks. |

Are you going to use it hunting or just a range gun?

Why limit a308 to that short of a distance?

Many things will help people give suggestions on a scope for you.
Price range? Intended purpose? ( paper punching, hunting ect) Do you want mil dot, FFP or SFP? |

NF 2.5-10x42. Came here to post this but It's a pricey piece of glass...I absolutely love mine though. |

I have a Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP on mine and I like it. I like a lot of times to go out further than 300 yards though.

Don't rule out the Nightforce 2.5-10x32. It is a little less money, but granted it does not have the newer Digillum or side parallax adjustment. Nor does it have the 42mm objective, but it is still a great performer.
I personally think that the NF 2.5-10 is a great match for a 7.62 gas gun. |

Another vote for the NF 2.5-10x32mm. I've got one on my JPE LRP-07 in .308. Great combo.
If you can afford the NF, look at the Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x44mm. Not nearly the scope the NF is, but it's a good one for the money. |

It's not in the same category as a NF, but I have been well pleased with this scope:
VX-R Patrol The light gathering is good for hunting and I've shot it out to 300 on an AR with good success. Scott |

I have a NF 2.5-10x32 on my 20" Ar-15 and a NF 3.15-15x50 on my AR-10. I bought them both used. I think the 2.5-10x32 is about the perfect size for a "precision" AR setup (5.56 or .308) and max distances under 600 yards. If you watch the EE here and on Snipershide you can find them used in the $1200 range (maybe less for a non ZS).
But if you have the budget definitely go for with the newer NF 2.5-10x42 (especially if you are going to use it for deer hunting). I personally can't justify the cost difference between a new x42 and used x32 unless it's a hunting setup. I had the Leupold VX-R 1.25-4x20 on my 300 BO but sold it. I liked it for hunting but I hated the 1.25 mag for close (under 50 yd) targets. I'm going to replace it with a true 1-6 scope when I can make up my mind on a model. |

All the choices stated limit usefulness at close ranges. An Eotech or Aimpoint with a 3x magnifier covers all bases out to 500 yards for "sillouette" size targets...

I am not a fan of the ad on 3x magnifiers used for the eotech and aimpoint field of view is terrible like looking through a used roll of TP...

I ran a Burris 1x4 but there was too much parallax at 1x to use both eyes open. I'm sure the newer scopes are better, but i like my close range stuff unhendered by the tubes. I realize my setup isn't a "sniper" type af arraingment, however and i won't be busting apples at 500 yards, lol. Just throwing out options for the op. |

I run a 3x ACOG (TA33G-H) on my primary AR, and almost beat out Gentlemenxxxx (whatever the numbers are) in a 5 yard speed drill during one of our classes a couple of years ago. I have no problem with the magnification at close range, so long as I remember POA/POI shifts.

Usefulness was bad word choice. I just like both eyes open for situational awareness. I found that closing one eye to focus down a tube limited that. Again, just options for the op.

That's the whole point of an ACOG w/BAC - you're supposed to shoot with both eyes open. I do and have no problems running drills in training. BAC
