[QUOTE="CCAguns, post: 1698986, member: 15399"] Depending on your hunt, I'd have no problem staying with the 3-9 Leupold. Excellent light scope and sufficient magnification if you're mountain hunting or carrying a long distance (such as in Alaska). If you're stand hunting or just target shooting, mounting a heavy scope, especially the European brands, will help tame recoil and allow for higher magnification. Mark V actions, especially the old German ones, are outstanding. There isn't a 30 caliber magnum that performs any better than the 300 Wby. Weatherby Supreme factory ammunition is quite accurate should you run out of reloads and can be found most place. The expense of factory ammo is overplayed these days when considering the costs of everything else. Sure, I like to handload, but knowing I can get excellent ammo off the shelf most places works for me. One of the biggest whitetail bucks I ever shot (200" class) allowed only a Texas heart shot at 150 yards. He was steadily walking away. The 300 Wby dropped him, as I had no concerns regarding getting the penetration needed. Outstanding cartridge! [/QUOTE]
