RE: What kind of scope would you use???
 

A 300 weatherby deserves at least a Leupold or Nikon 3.5-10 X 50.

I use a Leupold 3.5-10X50 on a Voere Titan II .308 and the Nikon on a Ruger 1-B .270, both are bright with good eye relief. Although my all time favorite is an older Redfield Golden 5-Star 2.7x9x40 mounted on old ugly (a CZ600 30.06)

Whatever you choose for a brand name stay with a 40 or 42 mm lens to allow mounting it low for a better shooting position.

how does that trashco titan hold up under the recoil?
i have never owned a ziess conquest but i was wanting to try one out. i have heard so so remarks on the zeiss conqust but not good enough for me to change what i use now.

if you got a nice expensive gun there like your 300 weatherby. i would go with atleast a VX-II in 1.5-4X20mm or a 3-9X40mm.i think they are better than the variX-II's that i already own. JMHO

RE: What kind of scope would you use???
 

Well to tell you the trouth i have never seen the gun.... Strange? The reason is that guns here on Iceland are quite expensive if you buy them new for exampel a krico 243 with just the sight costs $1450 and Remington Model 700 Sendero SF $1505. i know it´s stupid to compare new and used. I thought i could get something cheaper someware else so i looked around and i found my wetherby in New Sealeand for less than $850 with the scope, dies, 135 rounds and some other stuff. I hopefylly will clear it thru customs today so tomorrow i can tell you how the realy is. This prosess took a few weeks but i think i am getting a good gun for that price.i know that t is not exelent or good but that was something that i would figure out later.

Not that I'm a Tasco fan, but I think you might find that Titan will do the job just fine. Its Tasco's top of the line scope, 30mm one piece tube, built like a tank with a Titanium inner frame, the lenses are multi coded. Its not a cheap scope to buy. You might just like it.

But if you got your mind already set on replacing it look for a used Leupold (the warranty is bullet proof) or a new Bushnell Elite 4200 or 3200 (best product for the money).

Good Luck,

how are those nikon monarch's? i see them for $299.00 much more than a leupold VX-II

RE: What kind of scope would you use???
 

A Leupold 2X-7X or 2.5X-8X would be about right on a .300 Weatherby.

Keep yore powder dry!!

I don't know what the best scope is but I use a Leupold VX-II 3-9x40 it works for me.

OK got the gun today <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> and you know what the scope is a bit better than i expected maybe tasco can make decent things after all(if you are willing to pay good money $820AU just around $430US with ring and bases) i´m going to the shooting range over the weekend so we will see how it will handle the recoil. Ooohh man these weatherbys are realy nice rifles<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
