RE: any way to know scope relief .
The eye relief is listed with all the other specs on the MFG websites or in order catalogues. On cabela's website for example it lists the eye relief by each model of scope they sell with the price, etc. You'll want a min. of 3.5" with the 300 wby and I recommend a one piece tube for the extra recoil...so you'll have to fork out a bit of change to top it properly.
