The scope will work on a .308, however the BDC markings will not be accurate, you would have to re-calculate their values using a ballistics calculator.

.308 trajectory is actually relatively close to 5.56 trajectory, so the markings will likely still be relevant, you just may have to zero +/- an inch or so to get accurate drop holdovers. I believe the owners manual has zeroing directions for .308, in addition to various .223/5.56 barrel lengths.
