I have a Light Weight .308 bolt action rifle, I want to try Prism scope on it for deer hunting. I like the idea of the red dot at close ranges in the woods and the ability to shoot longer ranges when i hunt over field crops - I will often hunt woods in the morning and field crops in the evening. Anybody use a Prism scope for deer hunting ?? Will a Prism scope work for me ?

Dec 1Rex, during your YouTube sniper classes you said the SWFA SS was a good scope to start with for the price. It has been a number of years since you made that recommendation, is there any more that you could recommend? Thanks
An issue you will run into will be the height of the optic. Most prismatic scopes will come with a AR height mount which will put it extremely high up on a bolt action set up. That being said, if you could get a low mount I say go for it. I would recommend the primary arms stuff. The 2.5 power one might be right up your alley and if you ended up not liking it you could run it on an AR or just sell it off. They only run a couple hundred bucks and they hold up great.
Another option might be a low power scope like ones the 3 gun guys use. 1x on low power with a horse shoe and dot reticle and 10 power for the longer range stuff. This is just a suggestion of course. In the end if it works for you go for it! As Shawn stated the height of the prism scope might be an issue.
