Probably top out about 14X or 16X. Dennis Life member NRA | |||

The rule I follow for picking the maximum magnification (on a variable scope) is 4x per 100 yards for "big game" rifles so for a rifle like a 300RUM which is an honest 400yard cartridge you want ~16X, more if you can stand the minimum power of the scope that goes with that upper power. a 4-16 is a bit more expensive than a 4-12, but... I live with a 5-15X on my 7mmMag, so... AD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day! Those who manage to provoke themselves into other activities have only themselves to blame. *We Band of 45-70er's* 35 year Life Member of the NRA NRA Life Member since 1984 | |||

Leupold 3.5-10x40 is all you'll ever need with turrets being the cherry on top. | |||
