I just ordered a Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in .308 as a Xmas present "from" my wife. Use case will be deer, elk and black bear out to 350 yds max.

I'm looking at either the NF SHV 2-10 or Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 for scope. Which would you guys go with and why?

I'm also curious as to what base and rings or one piece base and rings you guys recommend?

FWIW, I stepped away from Rokslide for a couple years so I'm not up to date on the latest recommended flavors. When I left, SWFA and Trijicon Credo were all the rage. I'm not interested in SWFA anymore so please leave it out of recommendations. I'm open to other manufacturers though.

I’d add to your list and checkout the Trijicon Huron 2.5-10x40. I picked up one and threw it on a .243 and have been pretty impressed with it so far.

The Trijicon Accupoint will save you a lot of weight (if thats a concern) at only 13oz. Plus I really like the battery free illumination. If you want better MIL or MOA reticles the Credo 3-9 offers those for 17oz with illumination. I have had a SHV 2-10 in the past. Solid scope but only has MOA based reticle, on the heavy side depending on application.
