Guess I’m cheap. I own a Ruger American topped with a Leupold in .308 and wouldn’t trade it for anything. It kills everything I’ve put in the scope out to 250yds while riding and shooting does.
I have the Predator in .308 that’s my night time gun with an iRay and suppressed. So far it’s killed everything I’ve put in the scope.
I’m shooting 165gr tipped CoreLokts.
I’m waiting on the Gen 2 (.308) to come in right now and will swap some scopes around and it will become my primary night time gun.
These are fairly cheap rifles compared to the optics that ride on top, but I have NO complaints. Decent triggers. Hold a zero year after year. Most importantly, hit exactly where I have the crosshairs and fairly lightweight with no kick.
