Im trying to figure out the best scope to put on my Savage 10FP rifle shooting .308. I'm looking to shoot in the 800 yard range. Anyone have any knowledge in scopes. Im very knowledgeable in firearms, just not scopes.

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 04:26 PM

For the money you can't beat the Super Sniper scope. They are the US navy current contract holder. I have a Leupold VXII 6-18x w/ target knods and fine duplex on my Remington LTR 308 and love it. The Price isn't to bad either. But if money is not an option go Leupold MK4... Hope that helps

Well I have been looking at the Leupold Mk-2 3x9x40. But on the searches i have done nobody seems to be using it. Burris makes the super sniper correct?

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 04:29 PM

SWFA is the current manufacturer for the SS... 3-9 is no where near enough magnification for accurate repeatable 800 yd shooting

Jason Pratt · 08-15-2008, 04:31 PM

Thats kinda what I'm thinking. So should i go with a 6x18?

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 04:33 PM

The SS is a fixed 20x but you can get them in different magnifications. For that distance anything with a maximum magnification under 12 is pointless in my opinion for long range shooting... I love my VXII Would you like to see a pic with it on my gun to get a better perspective?

Im still looking at the super sniper scopes. They seem to be getting great reviews, they should anyhow if our military is giving them a contract. lol BUt again great looking gun!

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 04:51 PM

haha thanks you should see my custom ak and RRA ar-15

or even my Springfield XD45 tactical

Jason Pratt · 08-15-2008, 04:52 PM

I have a bushmaster AR-15 carbine and XD-45 service model 4". Love them both!

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 04:54 PM

SS scopes are a great scope and will be my next one for my next varmint gun.... Remington Model 700 VTR

. I am going with the 20x I like to see those groundhogs extra close, and I live like a mile from Gobblers Knob haha. There has to be something coincidental there. Stupid Punxsutawney Phil

Jason Pratt · 08-15-2008, 04:55 PM

Nice my RRA is an Entry Tactical model put on a quadrail setup with vertical grip and light... I love it and can't believe accuracy for an out of the box ar. Love my XD to

Jason Pratt · 08-15-2008, 04:58 PM

I have yet to custimize the AR yet as im working on the Savage right now, plus these pitbikes get expensive too. lol. But someday it will be a full on tactical rig! Im really looking at the SS 10X42 right now

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 05:00 PM

Good Choice but with the 10x you really need to practice for that kind of accuracy at 600+ yards. But alot of marines use a fixed 10x and swear by it. I guess it's just preference that's all

Jason Pratt · 08-15-2008, 05:01 PM

Then should i jump up to the 16

Mxrider346 · 08-15-2008, 05:02 PM

I would if not the 20x.... Are you planning on going out past 1000yds?
