300 short mag with a Leupold or Nikon 3x9x40 or 44mm or 4x12x40 or 44mm scope. I would say this set up for you can step up or down on your power loads and the scope will cover you from 50 to 500yds. I would say weigh your options per your budget allowances. I would go the 300 WSSM w/o question though.
