Custom hunting .30-378

I reall like diversity of the bushnell 6500 but for a scope with that much magnification I think they need to make target/tactical turrets for it.

That was my 2007 bull from Montana, killed with my 30-378 accumark and 210 Bergers. I live right on Lake of the Ozarksl in fact I have 3 lake front homes for sale here. If they ever sell I will be in Montana. I have spent as much time as I can there for several years. I just want a small place out of town up there somewhere.

Yeah, I agree with you on the turret issue with the 6500. I think the Elite 4200 6-24x50 has them on it. I was thinking something more along the lines of a 2.5/4-16x42; but we'll see. I suppose now that I have the gun approval from all of the guys on the board, my next decision is a scope. So, I'll get to reading on that.

Pretty small world eh? Where abouts in Montana are you looking? My sister and I drove through there this past summer, and it was a dang postcard. The views and landscapes on the western side were awesome.

Leupold would be the best option on the accumark. I had a sako trgs and weatherby accumark in 30-378. If i had to do it again, i would have a recoil pad, mercury reducer installed with the muzzlebrake. i had trouble with a handful of scopes holding zero but leupold worked fine. I found most 180 gr loads were accurate between the 3300 to 3400 fps range with H50 BMG powder.

Geeeeeeeeezzzzzzz Broz!!! That's pretty dern sweet. You sure you don't want to cut a deal to a good ol Missouri boy?!?!

All kiddin aside, I'll probably go with a leupold. Their solid, great warranty, and will do the job untill I can save up for a nightforce
