3-9, 3.5-10, 4-16, 4.5-14 will all be fine.Sight in the rifle to 200 yrds and you ill be a little over and inch high at 100 and a couple inches low at 300.

Sorry I really wouldn't get carried away with a of 06. A Vx3 in 4x14 is plenty of scope or one of the Nikon BdC scopes would work well. I'd probably pick a 165 grain bullet .
I've never had a scope with parallax adjustment except a cheap Simmons which I got rid of ASAP. I shoot with no problem out to 350 yards with my 3.5-10 VariX-III. I'm sure it would be fine to 500, I've just never shot it any further than 350.

Didn't say you can't do it with out it. Even the cheap center point is used to run back in the day got me out to 500 but with proper parallax I was able to tighten up my groups to confidently take game at 500 yards with that setup. Jme

JmeI'm sure you're right, I've just never been a long distance shooter. 400 yards is the furthest I would ever shoot at a big game animal. And the OP was talking only 200 to 300 yards. For that kind of distance, I'd rather have the simplicity of a scope without the adjustable parallax.
I'm looking to get a new scope for my Model 700 30.06. I deer hunt in places that frequently require shots of 200-300 yards. This includes places like Jordan, MT and Okanogan county. What recommendations would you have?

What recommendations would you have?this is not long range, don't get too crazy with a high power scope. if you zero at 200, your 300 drop will be easy comp within vertical reticle hashes in a good scope and not need to dial reticle. remember your field of view decreases a lot the higher power you get. but I will say for a general rule of thumb on quality, scope $ => rifle $....
