Thanks! Do you think the low rings would have fit?

I am getting a Tikka T3X 300 mag, Leupold VX-6 42 mm 2-12x scope. Can I use low rings or do I need medium? What do you think about the DNZ mounts? Do you like the CDS? I am looking for hunting, large game - and I want something simple not worried about 1/2" off - think elk size game at 500 yards.

I am looking for a good scope for a tikka 300 mag I am willing to spend $800 - $1000 max. I want it to be available from Cabelas (I have $800 in Cabelas bucks to use). It is for hunting. I like variable power and I like low magnification for faster target acquisition. I shoot fairly...

I am in the process of buying a new rifle & scope and I would like to be good to 500 yards for elk size game. I never intend to shoot this far but I want to be able to if required. Most shots will be at 100 yards with an occasional 300 yard shot. Currently I have taken only 1 animal over 125...
