The only problem is I don't know if they currently offer cartridge specific turrets. I don't want to hijack the thread but why not go to a MOA or MIL dial?

If you can't swing the cost of the NF, I would go with the Leupold. I have a Rem 700 in 7mm Mag with a Leupy VXIII and target turrets. I love it, but I max out at 800 yards. :twocents:
My buddy (the guy with the NF) looked at my rig, nodded quietly and said "Yeah, this is a nice starter set up". :chuckle:

Nightforce if you can afford the $1,700 price tag. I have a buddy with your set up (.300RUM Sendero) that he topped with a Nightforce. He loves it. I have seen him whacking sillouettes at 1,200 yards, and he shot his bull at 800+ this year.

Haha I wish I could afford the night force but I'm trying to keep it $1000 or less give or take a little bit. I'm thinking leupold but just can't make up my mind

huskima 3x12 :tup:http://www.longrangestore.com/Huskemaw_Blue_Diamond_Series_3_12x42_LR_Rifle_Scop_p/100200.htm
I know a guy who topped his 300rum with a Huskemaw. He's pretty happy with it.
I just talked to another buddy of mine who bought himself the Leupy LRT for Christmas. Hasn't put it on yet, but he's pretty excited. He works with a guy that contracts out teaching tactical shooting classes and I think he got it at a deep discount, so I am not sure what he paid for it.

I've got the 6-24x50 Vortex Viper PST moa ffp on my RBros 7mag and so far it tracks perfect and the glass is pretty dang good.
The only problem is I don't know if they currently offer cartridge specific turrets. I don't want to hijack the thread but why not go to a MOA or MIL dial?
:yeah:
Jason is right on the money here! Vortex would be my recommmendation as well.

The MOA/mil is sound advice. It doesn't take long to use, is adaptable to any gun, is accurate at all weather and elevations and easier to sell if you are not happy.

Do yourself a favor and learn to think in MOA and go with an M1 elevation knob instead of a CDS.
I would love to learn moa but I don't know anything about it or know anyone that dose or uses it lol that's y I choose a cds scope for now I got a moa elevation turret on my 223 but have never used it ( that scopes only been on there for a month)

I would do a bit of reading, a mildot with mil or moa turrets is super handy on a hunting rig. It allows ranging, hold overs and windage corrections.

Once you learn moa I am confident you will see the advantages.as.well.
