A friend is selling his 300 RUM and it has a Bushnell 4200 6-24x scope on it. I don't know much more, like the objective lens etc, it has MOA hash marks on the reticle. He says the scope is about 15 years old and has seen a lot of 300 RUM rounds. I've looked through it and thought it looked good, I've shot that rifle, but it's up for sale now and I want to know what to offer. I have a 18" savage .308 rifle I want to put it on to move my Vortex Viper 4-16x44 back onto my .17 hmr stainless heavy barrel thumb hole savage that I originally bought it for. You know, just to regain the balance that I once had :)

Any help would be great,

Thanks,

Ryan
 
Might be over kill for the .308win.
There is one on the EE now and I think it's priced rather uppity.
4200's 3-9 usually fetch and easy $250 as they are a great scope.
How much north of this is entirely up to you.
 
I don't really plan on using it as a hunting rifle, maybe from my dad's tree stand which is pretty open all around out to 150M or so just to add another caliber I've got a deer with, but I kind of want to use this stubby heavy barrel .308 to learn how to bench rest shoot and stuff. To learn some of the finer points of reloading and building loads etc. I use matching norma brass in my 6.5x55 tikka and lapua in my .243, but I don't think I really sit down and try to get that last half inch out of things like I could. I operate a university research ballistics testing lab and I reload and shoot for work, but I would love to tune up that little 9lb .308 to shoot nickles over and over. It might sound odd and I own a lot of guns, not compared to some on here, but more than many and I'm a good shot, but bench shooting is a weakness. I get flyers just about every 5. On a deer I just bring it up and shoot and I usually do really well.

Maybe I'm getting bored trying to diversify things :)
 
Am I mistaken or do they have an extremely limited range of adjustment? Hmm...50MOA according to the article. I thought it was less (seems to me that Rosie had an issue with that on his but that was many years ago). It might do, depending on what you want in terms of distance and where it actually zeroes in that 50 minutes of adjustment. You might need a tapered base to stretch it out. Otherwise they are a good scope but I wouldn't pay over $400 for one.
