Higher quality optics & reticles, more magnification, more MOA adjustments.
Down side: Danger of getting smacked in the face if you are not constantly aware of what you are doing, especially with cartridges in the 308 class on up to what I am currently using (7mm Dakota).
FWIW with the 200+ rounds with the 7 Dakota XP all rounds have been fired on 25x.
Most hunting situations would not require going to a rifle scope. It also makes you change up your hold compared to using a LER scope.
You may want to give both ways a good try before you settle on one way. I currently use both.
Hands down fav in the LER scopes is the Burris 3-12 LER with BP reticle with at least one target turret on the elev.

I agree 100% with xphunter. I used to have an old 2.5x7 LER Burris ,it was huge and very heavy but had the best eye relief of any LER scope I have ever owned, been kickin myself in the butt for years for selling it and have never seen another like it since.
