I've got a 7-08 and love it. I've had both a fixed 6x (FX3 6x42 which is superb), and a VX3 2.5-8x36 on it as well, and it currently wears the variable. I never had any trouble killing stuff from 15 yards out to 300 or so, which is the longest shot I've tried so far to try and kill something. The FX3 is one of the brighter scopes around, with several nice reticle options, but I've found my 53 yr old eyes prefer variables nowadays that offer a bit more magnification. Either one will get you well past legal shooting light, and the VX3 allows you to mount the scope very low, with less bulk than some others. Good luck, and enjoy the great choice in caliber.
