I like the SS 10x you listed, except I am not a fan of Mil Dot with MOA adjustments. I would look at this version instead.
https://swfa.com/swfa-ss-10x42m-tactical-30mm-riflescope-3.html Or this version. Difference being side vs rear focus. https://swfa.com/swfa-ss-10x42-tactical-30mm-riflescope-3.html And don't skimp on rings. Get good rings!! |

For those distances I wouldn’t go any higher than 10 power on the top end and get better glass. Just me.

I was thinking the same: better glass beats more magnification. If 300 is your max range, 10X will be easier to shoot welll than will a more powerful scope with more picky eye box.
260 is a great caliber, I had one a few years ago and still regret selling it. |

Great post. I don't have any problems with MOA clicks either, for casual range shooting. My old 10x SS w/ MOA clicks has served me VERY well over the years.

Either 10x or 12x SS would be your best option. I would lean toward the rear focus model. I do not think the side-focus version is worth extra $100, but YMMV.

The rear focus 10X will be good for shooting paper, Plus save money for ammunition. If using on a hunting rifle the 3-15. It will provide a wider field of view on the low end for moving game, and all the power needed to reach out when you want to.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I really like the 16x Super Sniper myself, but I might consider using the HD 10x with La Rue LT 719 quick detach rings or Talley Quick Detach rings and run one scope on both rifles or put a 2-7 Redfield on one to plink with and the HD on the other for target work. I liked my 10x HD a lot but traded up to a HD 5-20 which I like even more.

That is a very good price. I have two 3-9x42, one with the Mil-Dot (like the one above) and another with the Mil-Quad. They have been absolutely bulletproof for me. ILya
