The LTR in .308 has a 20" heavy fluted barrel so while heavy, it can do double-duty as a sniper rifle (500 yards) and a hunting rifle (from stands mostly). I'm looking for a scope ~$1K range - 1st focal plane - illum reticle - mil dot or hash marks for range estimation - 30 mm tube - objective lens <44 mm (it's a small rifle) Any recommendations?

I would take a look at the Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x32mm FFP. I have shot a number of Vortex Viper PST scopes in 4-16x and 6-24x and have been pretty impressed with them. I use a Nightforce 2.5-10x32mm because I bought it about a week before Vortex released their FFP, adjustable parallax version. If I had it to do over again I would have bought two of the Vortex. | |||

I use the Leupold 30mm 4.5x14x50 LR with the ILL German #4. I have 4 or 5 of them. | |||

Look at the Nightforce NXS 2.5-10X32 and maybe the MOAR recticle. Bit more expensive then you wanted but well worth the $ IMHO. | |||

Ditto Rule 303. Have one and love it, but mine is SFP, not that it would make much difference. At 500 you'ld want the 10X and stand hunting with a 308, it shoots flat enough that the SFP among powers is immaterial. Great scope with excellent illumination system as well. | |||

Nasdaq good choice. Mine has the NP-R2 reticle. Tough scope, great optics and as you say excellent illumination system. Very hard to beat. | |||

I did a similar build on the Savage Precision Carbine. My choice was a Leupold 3.5-10 X 36 CDS with a German #4. My criteria was nearly the same as you as far as distances and accuracy to 500 yards. The cross hairs are a little on the thick side but I have no trouble shooting MOA out to 600. It fits the carbine length rifle well. **************************The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first. | |||
