[QUOTE="Caleb, post: 675831, member: 50892"] Man, I wish I could feel good about a $300 scope....nowadays the $600 scopes are pushing it. Some of the better, higher end scopes also happen to be the better hunting scopes. I've always liked Leupold and Ziess is becoming my favorite for withstanding recoil. These 2 would give you a better chance at withstanding the ultra mag recoil. I've also been pretty impressed with the Bushnell Elites 4200's and 6500's, as far as their rugedness, but your gonna pay for those too. Nikon will give you a lot of scope for your money and I was all over that because their glass is excellent, but the 2 that I have owned are all over the place. One is a $500 Monarch and the other is the lower end pro-staff that I've got on a mini-13. The monarch is on 223 bolt action and neither will hold a zero. If I were going through the trouble of having a gun built, especially an ultra mag of any sort, I wouldn't budget on a scope. I've got an off the shelf 300 ultra mag that sits under my bed, unfired, and un-scoped because I've been saving for more than a year for some good glass. [/QUOTE]
