Scope suggestions

[Hank's Dad]

Ruger American series .308. What reasonably priced scope would you recommend?

Nikon prostaff 3-9x40. Very reasonably priced for what you get.

While I'm at it...mount rings? Just trying to make sure I don't shortchange myself on this gun I won for $20.

I would go with a nikon prostaff or redfield revolution.

 

[mjwendorf]

Redfield scope with leupold rings.

Ruger has it's own rings. Buy a Luepold VXIII 4.5-10 and never worry again

 

[Hank's Dad]

No rings came with it.

I have an American chambered in 308 and I mounted this Simmons on it with the optional sunshade - sweet shooter. It's sitting on Burris rings, I think, but can't remember. Once set up, feed that rifle the Hornady American Whitetail ammo, as it really seems to like it. I'd read that in a review somewhere and verified it for myself on the range.

I am a big fan of the dnz one piece scope rings. Check em out

Rings: DNZ, Leupold, or Redfield rings. The DNZ's are very nice.
Scope: Leupold, I have owned many Nikons & Leupolds over the last 30 years. There is no comparison on warranty service, after having a Nikon that quit holding I sent it back to the factory & they would not correct the issue unless I sent them over $100. The scope was in perfect condition & had never been abused. Needless to say I will never own another Nikon. Leupold has always given me excellent service & even changed turrets out for me @ no charge.

hard to beat the D N Z mounts and a redfield 3by9

If you want to stretch that .308 out there check out the SWFA SS line of optics.
