I put a Leupold 3.5x10x50 on my 6.8. A tad more than 300 but works great.

If you can swing a bit more I think the VXR 2-7 is about ideal for a 6.8

Been thru Blackwell a bunch heading to Oak Creek. About all I know about that part. Good looking country around there.

I've got a Stag Mod 7h (6.8) that I'm using for the same purpose. I had a Nikon Pro-Staff on it which will no longer sight in (after 1 season). I'm thinking of a Leupold as well but it's hard to fork over the $...

I really like the Leupold on my AR. If you shoot at night, the Fire dot on the Mark ARs and VXRs is well worth the extra cost. If you just shoot in the day, don't spend the extra on the illuminated reticle IMO.
