Boomer .308

Thanks guys. I realize that this particular scope would probably not be suited for hog hunting; I was really looking at it for the range and honing my shooting skills. Sounds like it might be a good place to start for that useage. I will certainly shop around and try to find the best deal but I think I might be onto something (again at least to get me started). Thanks again; I really appreciate the feedback. I've got a lot to learn but can't wait for the education to begin. Boomer!

Thanks Survival. I did some research last night on glass and realized just how open ended my post was. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a rookie (not that that was difficult to figure out) so any advise is greatly appreciated. I think I want to find a good scope that I can take to the range and shoot at 100, 200, 300 max. As it relates to price I need to stay under 500 and would love to get in for around 350 to 400. Midway has a sale on this model: Nikon Buckmasters Rifle Scope 6-18x 40mm Side Focus Mil-Dot Reticle Matte. It is currently priced at 350 and the reviews are very good. Anyone have thoughts on this? Need to get something on the rifle so I can start shooting and gaining some knowledge.

Hey All, New to the group and new to .308's. Ordered a LR-308B this week and wanted to get some thoughts on good glass for it. I hope to use this rifle to hunt hogs and spend time at the range as well. I assume that I will need glass for both applications but maybe not...hoping to get some "expert" advise from the group. I need to be some what budget conscience, but I don't want to buy junk either. So what do y'all think? Thanks in advance. Boomer!

Thanks Retired. Where bouts in OK are you from? I grew up in El Reno and lived there most of my life. Been in TX for a while now (had to follow the work) but plan to get back "home" one of these days. Miss the laid back lifestyle of small town America.

Thanks everyone. I wasn't familiar with topguns so I appreciate the info Washguy. Just checked out the website; looks like I need to plan a trip up that way! How is it out there after the rains? We needed it but man that was a soaker.

Hello all, I'm new to the group and just wanted to say hi. I "pulled the trigger" and purchased my first .308 today; I'm so pumped. Hopefully by the end of the week I'll have my new DPMS LR-308B (can't wait to hold her...lol). I'm in the Frisco TX area and would love to meet folks in the area who also suffer from the black gun fever. Looking forward to being a part of this group; love what I've seen so far on this site.
