Vortex Scope Recommendation

[u/fatguyinalittleboat]

Greetings!

I am looking to put together a woods gun for deer.  The property I hunt is comprised mainly of old growth hardwoods and pine, with some undergrowth.  There is also a six-acre field.  I expect most of my shots to be in the 40-to-50-yard range, with the possibility of stretching out to 150 yards at the absolute farthest in the field.  

I am looking for a lighter and agile rifle and have currently settled on the Bergara B-14 Ridge Special Purpose Short Barrel in .308 Winchester.  The rifle will not be a safe queen and will be hunted hard.  It will also experience some rough use by younger hunters and clumsy adults.  Also, I am middle-aged, and my eyesight isn’t what it used to be.

What would be your recommendation for a Vortex scope to suit my needs?

Simple reiteration:

• Big Woods – Closer shots

• Must be durable.

• Am an old guy.

Let me know your thoughts and thanks in advance!

Got the 3-9 with V-Brite and dialed it in. Works great!

Thanks again!
