No reason the answers from your other thread on this same topic for a .300win mag wouldn't equally apply to a .308win. For all intents and purposes, the only difference between the two will be felt recoil, no reason one would need a different scope from the other.
.308 has significantly less recoil than 300 win mag so I figured I wouldn't need as great of eye relief and was hoping the vortex diamondback would be sufficient for this rifle.
