Thanks for all the suggestions. Here's my new question, I've got the DPMS upper with 24" Stainless Barrel and want to do long range, up to 1000 yards. What kind of zoom should I be looking for. Normally I would look for the highest zoom possible but I'm not expert on long range shooting, so what is recommended?

Forgive me if I bad mouthed Millet. I've never used one but thought they were also a cheap scope, but apparently not. I'll have to do more research.

Really? which millet has locking knobs? Thanks for all the suggestions.

I went and shot my .308 this weekend. Took a drive and camped at BLM land, it was awesome. The problem was the cheap ass scope I bought. I had an NCstar 50mm 10-40 zoom. I knew it was a piece of crap but thought it would at lease work. After 20 shots it broken, element came loose. I read the reviews about this but figured it was a fluke; nope. Do not buy this brand what ever you do. So now I'm looking for a decent scope, I think I'm willing to spend $500 and up. I don't want NCStar, Millet, Barska, BSA or Tasco. I prefer a tactical scope that has a high zoom range for super long distance shooting. It would also be nice if the adjustment knobs lock.

Cool, thanks.

Thanks. Now I have to save up for one.

So I just got my DPMS Upper and Tactical Machining Lower together as a Whole rifle. I added a cheap NcStar Mark 3 Scope to it as I'm now broke after the build and it was lying around doing nothing. I noticed right away that with the scope in what I think is the correct position it covers the charge handle and I can't easily get to it. So I guess one option is to buy the Mech Armor charge handle. Besides that what else is everyone doing? Should I buy higher rings?
