I'm putting together a light weight mountain rifle. I've decided on a Ruger American for the rifle. Now I just need the scope and rings. My shots are primarily under 80 yards, but there could be the occasional longer shot. I'll likely go with a .308 since I already have one in an AR10. I also have a Rem. 700 in 30-06. I love these two rounds. I'm thinking about a 2-7. I like the idea of dialing down to 2 since I hunt in thick trees but I'd like the flexibility of going up to 7x. A 1-6x would be good but I want to keep costs down. ($200-$250...possibly used)
I want this scope to be super light and preferably small. Recommend some light weight rings while you're at it.
Thanks in advance.
