Buying a scope for a Remington 700 .308.  I really don't want to spend more than $400 on one.  What do you guys suggest??

I'm in the same boat only mine is a Browning a bolt in 308.

I have a simmons 8point scope(cheapy) but did not like the performance.

I have put on a burris fullfeild 2 scope(they have a nice combo package with binocs for 199). I have this same model scope on a remington 06 and it is real good. Holds zero with no problems at all.

Leopald rifleman series is good for the money. I have one on a browning bar mk2 in 06 and it has held up well. 199 bucks.

You should be able to find a good leopald, burris or bushnell(elite series) for under 400 bucks for your needs.

Look at Natchess or SWFA(advertiser here) for good prices.

I have this: http://www.opticsplanet.net/burris-3x-9x-40mm-fullfield-30-european-rifle-scope.html with the Ballistic Plex reitcle on a .308 rifle and it is great. You could get this scope and some decent rings for under $400.  The reticle works really well in my experience and the scope is of excellent quality.  Plus Burris has a very good warranty.

I'm looking into those scopes, and I'm also looking at the SWFA Super Sniper.  My brother has that on his Rem 700 and he loves it!  I've heard good things about it.  I was just wondering if anybody had any others that they suggested for around the same price.

I have the Super Sniper on my 700 SPS T .308 and it's a great scope for the coin.

Got a Leupold Mark 2 with BDC reticle on mine. My 15 yo son hit a 223 casing at 100 yards with one shot with it...from a bipod. He consitently shoots MOA groups with it at 100 - 400 yards.

In that price range I would get a Nikon or a Leupold.
