[QUOTE="illfixit, post: 1273000, member: 99916"] Hi all, just finished my introduction to this site in the introduction section so I'll start right in. Like many others I'm slamming my head on the wall deciding what scope to mount to my Parker Hale 300 Weatherby Mag. Just had it restored and its beautiful !!! I first was set in the Eliminator III but hated the idea of a computer on such a classic rifle, then reading posts here confirmed I don't want that. My second option was the Ziess Conquest series but don't love the reticle layout. I then after searching and searching I am leaning towards the Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50mm, but am concerned about it handling a 300 mag. Another option was a Vintage Tasco from Japan, the Tasco TR 6-24X40, but once again am afraid of disappointment. I have a list of features I'm wanting in my scope and I don't want to spend much over 1000 dollars for a 500 dollar gun, even though its a priceless gun now. A previous "Gunsmith" put a Mark8 7.5x on it and that is for sale !! Features in order of importance; Cost Appearance First Focal Plane Reticle layout I "like like." 20x + magnification Objective 50mm Glass quality Zero stop With all this said, is there a Vintage scope out there to look for or will the Vortex Viper work the best for me, Love the price, Love the reticle !!!!
