$350 Scope Recommendations

[BayouBuck985]

Hey Guys, I am looking at getting another rifle scope for my .308. I already have a nice Swarovski Z6 on my other .308, but I picked up a backup rifle on the cheap and instead of swapping the scope from rifle to rifle, I would like to get a decent scope for about $350. I am also considering buying a higher quality used scope as well. It’s for a whitetail rifle in the South, where most shots are in dense brush and no more than 200 yards, so I don’t need really high magnification or larger objective lenses for that matter. I do really like generous eye relief, so beside Leupold, please let me know opinions of others that would suit my needs. I had a Vortex Diamondback before, but I got rid of it to get a Leupold VX Freedom. Mainly on the eye relief aspect. Thanks in advance.

Can find a vortex viper hs in that price range pretty easy. Can get one used for even sub 300 sometimes.

Ive seen quite a few 3x9 scopes on the used market. Leupold and Vortex both have good warranties that make it easier to buy used

You can try a Leupold Freedom or Vortex Diamondback if you want new. They should work fine for your purposes.

Leaning toward another VX Freedom at the moment, unless I find something higher end but used.
