Buy recommendations First 308, need scope recommendations

Any scope recommendations for my first 308? Mostly for coyotes/targets 300-500 yards on a ~$2500 budget?

Consider looking at the Nightforce NX8 line (e.g. 4-32 or 2.5-20) or their upcoming NX6 releasing later this year. They can be found used in the 2500-2800 range depending on the model.

IMO you won't find a more durable scope on the market for the weight. You might be able to save a couple oz with a Leupold, but the reassurance that your scope will never go down in the field or on an extended hunt is worth it to go NF.
