Both are whitetail. Both work great. Never had a problelm.

RE: any way to know scope relief .
 

burnie & rod no disrespect intended but I wouldn't even consider topping a 300 wby. with a simmons scope. I have owned this gun previously and am speaking from experience. Equally important is the mounts and rings you choose, buy better to hold her tight on the boot!! Personally all I use is leupold rings and mounts now, there are others that are equal but my loopy's haven't caused me a minutes worth of worry so I just stick with them.

No disrespect taken, I need to know these things. My largest calb. has been 30-06. Not quit as much recoil as a 300 wby. I have had no problem with simmons, redfield, or leupold. I have them all on my other guns, but like I said, those are in 270, 308, 30-06, 22-250, 30-30, and 243. Not quit as violent as the 300.

The AETEC is the upper end of the Simmons line, and the Whitetail Expedition seems to be good too, just can't find Butler Creek lens caps for those. The 44MAG though is a POS. Wouldn't hold a zero on a .270 for me. I'll never trust them again. I think there's a new Nikon that has a 4" eye relief also. Nikon Monarchs are great scopes.

Ice
