Burris 1x Short Mag Rifle Scope

I have the 1x Burris on a 45-70 Encore pistol and it works great. With 1x you have unlimited eye relief so it is instantly clear and in focus. I have had a 3-12 on a .308 15in barrel but did not like the scope because eye relief was very awkward over about 6x and it was bulky. Any good manufacturer (Leupold, Nikon, Burris etc) 2x or a variable will work. What you need depends on your style of hunting if you stalk game you want low power, if you still hunt and benchrest shoot you can take the time to use high power scopes. A benchrest guy would probably have loved the 3-12. A lot depends on what distance you will engage your target at. I have shot deer with open sights on a 4in barrel .357 revolver at 75yds. I get consistent good hits on targets at 100 yds with the 1x . I sighted in the open sights on the .308 at 100 yds yesterday and was getting very close to the X ring off sandbags, but a scope is helpful. Also worth considering would be an aimpoint or EOTech. I've been knocking around the idea of putting my 1X aimpoint on the .308 barrel.

You need about 1/8 inch more clearance front to back than the standard 30mm rings to mount the aimpoint because the center portion of the body is so long. or for 1 inch tube optics

Burris makes a dual dovetail mount that works very well also, but the quick release system works well for the interchangeable barrels and it is nice to have a .223 or .308 that you can get cheap ammo for.
