Scope for 300 win mag

[Talks2elk2]

Hey all. Looking for advice on which scope to buy for my Tikka T3X 300 win mag. I’ve got around 500$ to spend. I obviously want the best I can get new or used. Thoughts?

Thanks

Never heard of those. I’m assuming you own one?

two, plus the 3-9 and and 3-15. In the sub $500 range ($300 new), I don't think anything else compares from a reliablity/functionality standpoint.

You might have to save a couple hundred more $ but I just put a VX-5HD 3-15x44 on my Tikka 300WM

How far are you shooting?
Hunt, targets, or both?

Save another $150 and buy a Trijicon accupoint 2.5-10x56 and be set.

Should I stay away from scopes with 1” tubes?

If they are a little lighter and have good reviews, the 1" tube wouldn't bother me.

Leupold, none turret , + 2.5 @ 100 , aim @ ridge of back @ 400 = dead
I don’t like chit sheets and dial in scopes on my 308 Norma mag or 300wm

i have a zeiss v4 4-16x44 from redhawk on mine. Probably the best deal there is and perfect for a 300

I have a vortex HST 6-24x50 no problem hitting deer and 500 yards and beyond. It's around the 500 dollar range.

Leupold or Vortex at least 4-12. I have a leupold 4.5-14 x50 is my choice
