So, I have slowly been messing around with a DPMS LR:308 over the last year. I finally shot it today, and have have had my fears about my current scope realized.
The scope is a VX2 6-18, which I think is suitable, and I added some aftermarket turrets that work well enough. However, I got it on clearance at Midway (paid $500 instead of $600), but it has a "super fine reticle". In short, the cross hairs are unbelievably hard to see.
I just want a good scope that won't break the bank. I currently shoot out to 200 yards, but want the ability to go out further in time (600-800?). The top two choices are currently:
Nikon's M-308 series - It's affordable, they have a cool app for their BDC, and they make good stuff.

Leupold's AR series - their 6-18 is basically the scope I have now, but in the configuration I really want. However, they may be tuned for 5.56, so I would need the "normal" reticle, not the BDC option I think....I could really be wrong.
