I have an Aero in..308 that I love. It currently has a 1-4x24 illuminated scope from Cabelas. It's actually a pretty decent scope, but feel the magnification should be higher. I'm considering moving that scope to another carbine.
Thoughts on what should ride on top of my big bore carbine???
What works for me is a range up to 16x ~18x and your mileage may differ.
I also run a few fixed 10x scopes.
Currently the following is on sale and I thought I seen a coupon to take off an additional $30.00.

Moving down the price point, you may want to consider the following from UTG. These are listed on Amazon and with Amazon if you don't like it, send it back. I've also seen these for as low as 177 and change delivered off Manventure.
UTG 2-16X44 30mm Multi-range AO Scope
SCP3-216UMOA
UMOA RETICLE:
The high quality etched glass UMOA reticle, one of our latest reticles, utilizes hash marks at 2 MOA increments allowing intuitive and on-the-fly calculations, holdovers, and leads. When it comes to the environment and time of day, you can illuminate the center crosshair in virtually any color of your choosing with our patented 36 Color Illumination Enhancing System. Outstanding light transmission is achieved through emerald coated lenses for a crystal clear view. When it comes to straight to the point precision, this scope is like no other.
Also FWIW there's a Misconception that UTG will not warranty their scopes.
UTG has a Life Time Warranty on their scopes and it is transferable.
Anytime I get a scope I email the ser # to make sure it's not a counterfeit and with the reply it's as good as cleared for "Proof of Purchase" with many manufactures.
NO, I don't work for or am I compensated by UTG.
Burris MTAC scope~s are on sale at a few sites as well.
Sightron seems to be a good ~ excellent choice
Primary Arms? Yes I like the reticle they come up with but have steered clear of their scope because of the 1 & 3 yr warranty, although I believe PA has been offering their scopes now with a Life Time warranty at or around the 4 price point.
On the warranty thing, I believe Vortex, Burris &
Leupold (?) will warranty an abused scope while many other manufactures will not.
Good Luck
Safe Shooting
