I got a ol winchester model 88 that my grandfather left to me. I don't use it much as I have a few other rifles. I did have a leupy 3-9 on it, but the gun itsef although fairly accurate has a trigger creep on it that's a little tough. Got a lot of sentimental value. so I took off the scope and have made some good shots on varmints with open sights--If I ever put anything back on it, it will probably be the old weaver 4x that pap had on it. I think I might even put those old flip-over mounts that he had back on.

Bousch & Lomb Elite3000 in 2x7.
The scope doesn't dictate how far I will shoot, my skill level does.

Redfield Low-Pro 3-9 on an old remington model 788 old scope old gun but when it comes to pilling up the deer it's hard to beat um

I KNOW YOUR "SKILL LEVEL"DETERMENS HOW FAR YOU CAN SHOOT TSCHAEF, BUUUTTTTTTT.......... IF I TAKE LETS SAY EVERYONE ON HERE THAT USES A 308WITH A 3X9 SCOPE AND ADD ALL THEIR DISTANCES TOGETHER AND DIVIDE I GET WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR......AN AVE.. AND BY THIS AVE I CAN JUDGE HOW FAR (GIVE OR TAKE) I WOULD BE ABLE TO SHOOT WITH IT,JMO, BUT THATS HOW I HAVE DONE OTHER THINGS IN LIFE AND IT SEEMS TO WORK SO I DID IT HERE TOO.
THANKS GUYS FOR ALL YOUR HELP SO FAR

A 5-15x50 Bushnell Elite. I use it for everything from groundhogs to deer. I used to switch it out for a 3-9X Leupold in deer season, but got tired of switching and the 5-15 works great.

Zeiss 3-12x56. This scope is enough for all kind of shooting.
