I bought a budget minded Ruger American Predator in .308. Got invited to go hog hunting after Xmas. Yeah cheap but accurate enough for my skill level. Now I need optics...suggestions under $200?

Never hunted hog? How much power is needed to take these beasts down? Are they fast on their feet?

I have that rifle. Don't put it down for it's price. I shoot echo silhouettes out to a 1000 yards with mine.

For $200 just put a Nikon Buckmaster II (if you can find one) or a Vortex Crossfire on it. Probably the best scopes for that price. I also picked up a Sightmark off of Sportsmansguide 5 years ago for $100 I thought for sure would crap out by now in the extreme temperatures, but it is still working just fine on my son's 6.5.
