Mounted the big one

Sportfish Joined: 02/10/2002 Location: ND	I bit the bullet on a new scope this spring and just got done mounting a 6-24 X on my 700 remington 300Win. Can't wait to go sight it in. Just curious what others are running for power on there deer hunting scopes.

beedoggs1 Joined: 12/11/2008 Location: ND	I ran a 6-24 X 40 sightron on my .243 forever. Loved it for Coyotes, great for deer up on the prairie, fair for deer in the coulees. Currently have a 4-16 X 42 Nikon on that rifle, loving it much more, and a 5-20 X 42 nikon on my 25.06, loving that even more. Used to run sightron on everything, I am a nikon man now. Nothing worse though than pulling up on a deer and seeing only fur.

Lycanthrope Joined: 02/03/2004 Location: ND	I have a 6.5 - 20x on my 243. I dont walk/push deer and seldom take a shot under 100 yards. It works great for me. It just depends on your hunting style. I would rather wait or a deer to give me a good standing shoot at 300 yards than shoot one running at 100 yards.

bullheadmaster Joined: 11/29/2002 Location: ND	I'm finally getting rid of an old 3x9 Redfiled wide angle... Hate that thing. I'm puchasing a new 3x9 and I like Nikon that I have on my 22-250. I'm looking into a new scope for the Ruger M77 270. Thoughts from you guys on 3x9 scopes, brands, etc. would be good. I looked into Burris and Bushnell and I'm not quite sure that I like their products. Leupold was nice as well. Looking to stay around $150-$200. Just insight would be perfect. Thanks guys. Big J

Lycanthrope Joined: 02/03/2004 Location: ND	I dont own any, but I have heard enough good comments about them they cant be all bad. What 'good optics' would you recommend for $300? Personally I would be tempted to try a Grand Slam in that price range, but thats just me. Was that the old style monarch or the new 'redesigned' ones they came out with a year or so ago?
