So I decided to start saving up more bucks and purchase the LMT LM308MWSF. I think this should happen here in a few months and then I'll start accessorizing it for a target rifle. This will be my 3rd AR.
My goal is to build an accurate target rifle out of the LM308, out to 300 yds. I will get the 20" barrel on it instead of the 16". Right now my biggest question/issue is getting a good scope that will cover the distance. My budget is $800 to $1,000 for the scope. I'm thinking a 5-20x or the 4.5-14x. I've done some searching and I am leaning towards Leupold VX-3 or Trijicon Accupoint. I guess one of my biggest questions about a target scop is the reticle. What kind of reticle would be best or would it even matter? What would you recommend for a target scope combination to put on the LM308? Thanks. Wes |
| I am very happy with my Vortex Viper 5.5-20x50 and my Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10. Unfortunately I don't have any higher end glass to compare them too. They are both very solidly built, I am very happy with the extremely positive clicks on them. The Viper 5.5-20 is the one I use for target shooting. Very clear glass, easily resettable turrets, I've got a target dot reticle in mine which is great for target shooting. |

| I just bought a nightforce which is higher than the price you listed. I did look at the trijicons, and the only thing that turned me off on those was the mildot with the moa turrets. I find it much more easy to use to be able to dial a scope in with the reticle matches the turrets. |
