Scope starting point , hunting 308. Recommendations

Japanese Bushnell? That's the one to use.
Philippines Burris next.
Chinese Vortex ones, forget them.
The Weaver if USA made, is a decent rimfire scope, not much magnification at 3x, I wouldn't throw it on a center fire unless it was a canned hunt or heavy heavy bush.

Ill check it might be from Japan, I have an old 3-9 bell scope made in Japan is that any goods?
 
I have one of those Weavers (assuming the Classic/made in Japan version), it's a handy little scope, mine sits on a CVA Scout 45-70, they seem to have a good reputation for a tough bush scope. I'm sure it would work fine but not be a great match for a CTR

I'd probably choose the Burris for the season.

Like others have said, you could sell a few of those if you're not using them and buy something we'll suited

Another vote for selling your surplus scopes and buying a Leupold VX3 2.5-8x. The 1.5-5x is also a great option for hunting at to 300 yards. And buying either of those Leupolds used still gets you a lifetime warranty at a very attractive price point.
