A Burris "Scout" 2-7x32mm with a ballistic plex reticule.
Should be a good scope, BUT, you need to do a bit of range work with it, before going afield. Actually shooting it at set ranges to find exactly where on the "ballistic plex" your bullets are going to hit.

While any of the scopes that compensate for bullet drop can be useful, they are only fully "correct" for a given bullet, at a given speed.

Generally, .308 ballistics are taken from 22" barrels. Yours is much shorter. It is quite possible that your chosen load won't exactly match the factory "presets", so a little range work to see how much, and where the difference is, is in order.
