I had one of these rifles before but sold it to my brother(which I've regretted).So I went and bought another,the scope I had previously was a Leupold Vari-x3-9mm-50MM.While I thought that scope was fine I was just looking for different options in the $300 range,any and all help would be greatly appretiated.Also which model Harris bipod is best suited for the PSS?Thanks,Josey.

    I have been pleased with Leupold though I use 1.75-6x. I have also been pleased with my Nikon Monarch, and for a less expensive scope the Weaver Grand Slam is a good value.

    My brother has one with a Leupold Mark 4. It is a fixed 10X with a .308 cam and bullet compensator. Since you are wanting to stick to under $300 I offer two suggestions. Bass Pro Shop had Leupold 3x9x40 vari-x II's on sale for $177 That is below dealer cost and a good deal if they are still on sale and have any left. My second suggestion and what I would go with is A Kahles ZF-84, Bronco Trading company has a scratch and dent sale on these. They have an ad in shotgun news. They are 6 X 42 w/target turrets,mil dot and ranging recticle and cammed for the .308, rubber sunshade The optics and mechanics are correct. The outside may be scratched or scraped but the quality optics are still there. This is a great price but the quantity is limited. There e-mail is garandbayo@aol.com the phone is 817.446.1244 and the fax is 817.492.9709 They are located in Ft. Worth Tx. and take credit cards. They have a 7 day return on ALL sales if not completely satisfied. Hope this helps.

    The Kahles ZF scopes have 26mm tubes. Most of them were taken off of Steyr SSG's with Steyr's proprietary rings. Great scope. Just an odd tube diameter.Stick with Leupold.

    I bought a M8 6 x 42 from Wholesale Hunter, they use Msn's auction site, less than $350 for a matte target, I have a LM-S series(legs eject) Harris bipod on my PSS, and I love it, it swivels and allows you to level the gun, I also put the Brownells competitor sling on it as well, Check out Wholesale Hunter, they have some of the best prices on optics I have seen, Orphanedcowboy

    Anything but a dang Springfield. If'n you can get a hold of a Leupold 3.5-10x50AO it would be a good one. I just got rid of a Springfield(the hard way)and because of the suggestions I recieved, I bid on and won a Leupold mentioned above. It's the same model that is on my .223 PSS has the target turrets and all. That Tasco the doc mentioned is an excellent choice also, especially with the price.By the way I have the same model rifle, do you have an extra box mag?

    Hey Josey, when you are ready to buy take a look at www.bearbasin.com I have found them the cheapest dealers for optics, with knowledgeable people and fine service. They once had a computer problem that ate a couple of orders including mine, and they gave me free express shipping, profound apologies, and an extra $10 off the scope.
