got a few things in front tho - that nightforce is 2600 on gun broker - maybe a zeiss at 1100 is a better unit bang for the buck

I know nothing about 308s, and I'd still like to get him one for Christmas. Are there any I should consider? Any I should avoid?

A DD that wants to get her Father a 308 for x-mas. I'm impressed.

He was originally thinking of an AR, but after talking with him, he decided he'd prefer a rifle for distance. He named a 308 specifically.

For an AR, get the LMT.

For a bolt gun, get the Remington 700 Police model.

Leupy makes a 3.5-10x40, but it's SFP. I have one on my precision .223 AR.

How far is far?

my LaRue is a 16" AR and I can pluck a 1/3rd IPSC target from 750 yards. That rifle weighs a whopping 7.6 pounds.

OK... Here's the hard part... Does he want pinhole accuracy right out of the box? Or just something that he can shoot a deer with every year?

Nightforce are frickin beefy scopes. Truly professional grade.

heres why I won't get one right now:

1) Secon Focal Plane

2) capped turrets

3) $1600 for the one that I want.

Dad named 750+ yards. He used to buck railroad ties, so 7.6 pounds won't be too tough for him, I imagine.

He wants it for home defense first, hunting second.

Can you recommend bolt guns similar to a 308? I don't anticipate a sudden run on them, but on the off-chance that they sell out, I'd like to make a proper choice. :)

Let's say $500-750 for the gun (accessories will be separate.) Business is good.
