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.

That might be a bit of a stretch. More like 7" at 300 yards.

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 .
165 grain is what I shoot. I tried 180 at one point, but it's simply too much bullet. I've been looking at smaller caliber rifles with more velocity, but for now I'm sticking with the 06.
Thanks everyone for the responses, this is my first post and I'm glad to see how many helpful people there are on this forum.

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.your groups would tighten up with proper parallax. 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

I'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.

the op asked for opinions on a long range scope, even though he said out to 300 they may be interested in long range shooting( it's addicting) and eventually will want to stretch there legs a bit more than 300 yards. Again jmo. :tup: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 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?
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. :twocents: but I will say for a general rule of thumb on quality, scope $ => rifle $....

Yes I know, I should have been more clear in my first post. My average shot is 200-300, but I've taken shots up to 500. Bottom line is I'd like a scope that is more accurate at longer ranges, though 2-300 is average.
