Has anyone put this scope on a ruger american .308? Thoughts?

I have put one on a buddies Ruger American .308, and I have one on a Savage .270 lightweight. Both hold zero and track perfectly.

Would this scope be a good choice for a 300 wsm?

This would be a great scope for your 300 Winchester short. You can't always be in the best shooting position when you're hunting. The eye relief is exceptional on this scope. I have it on a 6.5 Creedmoor and after several eye-brow/scope Collisions using other scopes, I knew I wanted this scope. I just love it.

Do they make a sun shade for this scope ?

Actually they just released this. Vortex Optics Riflescope Sunshades https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003J6AB3S/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_VYZFKJTDFHR4G83FDSCP?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

What’s the difference between this and the Copperhead?

No difference. Marketing name change for a different market.

Great value

Thought it would be low quality for the price but it is actually awesome. Got it for my Marlin 25m and it works great. No issues so far, nice and bright and it’s amazing value for the low price tag. I’ve been able to be very accurate out to 100 yards.

I'll buy more for sure!

The warranty (and customer service) keeps me coming back for more Vortex products. I have a bunch of Crossfire II scopes and a few Diamondbacks (as well as a few Defender CCW and Strikefire red dots) and I had read some good reviews on this Sonora line so I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did. A great warranty, bright, clear glass, well put together and a good price point. I'll buy more for sure!
