    Scopes are not caliber specific.

    The only real difference is that the . 308 may have greater recoil, which may “beat up” a cheap scope.

  2. Wayne says:

    You can use a . 223 scope on a . 308. Pro is you don’t have to buy a new scope. Con is that the recoil of the . 308 might beat up a . 223’s scope a bit, as it was not designed to handle a . 308.

    It depends, the scope could possibly be designed for larger weapons as well. Generally, many civilian scopes are designed to be used with various calibers. Some people like to put red dot sights or lower power sights on hunting rifles, as the small field of view can be very annoying in certain terrain types.

    You can, but I don’t recommend it. Nothing bad will come out of it, but I can guarantee you that you’re marksmanship will suffer. Get a scope appropriate for a . 308 rifle, as . 308s have more range, recoil which effects accuracy, and so on.
