[QUOTE="BIG MO, post: 310951, member: 18994"] Great choice on the rifle, it should not take you long to find one with a factory group of 3/4 inch or less. I would recommend the Leupold Mark 2 tactical series for your sporter weight long range hunting rig. They can be had in a 3x9, 4x12, or 6x16. The 3x9 and 4x12 have 1/2 moa adjustments. With the 300wsm, this will allow you to go from 100yds to 1000 yds in less than one turn of the elevation turrent. Once you decide on a load that you and your rifle likes, with one call to leupold and $60 you will have a custom lazer engraved elevation turrent to 1000 yds. Forget the long range reticles and mil-dot systems. Used in conjunction with a lazer rangefinder, it is tough to beat the custom turrent for speed and precision. You will be amazed at the user friendly foolproof long range accuracy this type of system provides. Also, the Mark 2 series is tested to the same standards as the $1000+ War Horse Mark 4. The good news here is, if you are patient and regularly shop all the internet distributors, you can fit the Mark 2 in your budget. I recently purchased the Mark 2 3x9x40 for $389, free shipping, no tax. Last week my buddy just purchased the Mark 2 6x18x40 for $450, free shipping , no tax, for his 300 RUM. These deals can come and go pretty quick so be ready to pounce. For rings I would recommend the Talley lightweight one piece units. These are the rings the Best of the West guys use, and they are a great value at $40 per pair. They will look and perform perfectly on your sporter weight long range hunting rig. For a 40mm scope you will want the low mount rings. Take your time and enjoy your rifle build. It is half the fun. [/QUOTE]
