ShootOneSendero Scope Help
I finally found one for the right price, soon to be taking delivery of a 7 ultra sendero. Now i need some glass for it. plan on sticking with a luepold vx3.
Just need your recomendations and what yall are using.
thinking about 4.5-14 maybe in lr version or a 1in tube
even been thinking about a 6.5-20-50LR Target. but im thinking that is too much magnification for deer hunting
any advise
4.5-14 with the varmint hunter reticle would be nice I have the 8.5-25 on my .243, my rem 700 police .300 RUM has a Mark 4 6.5-20x50 with mil dot on it and that is a nice piece of glass.

R FlowersOh heck, that is easy!
I would without hesitation mount a Leupold 4.5 X 14 Longe range with a 40mm lens and a Boone and Crockett reticle.
That scope would be a perfect match for the Sendero in a cartidge of that type.

I helped a friend sight in his Ruger No1 in 300 Win Mag with a Leupold 4.5x14 with the Boone and Crocket reticle today.
That would be a great cdhoice for your Sendero.
On a lighter rifle the 2.5x8 with the B&C reticle would be good to. Another friend has one on his Encore in 300 Win. We are all going Elk hunting in Wyoming next week.
I have the Leupold 3.5x10 LR M3 [Ballistic cam] on my 300 Win Blaser R 93.
We have shot the B&C Reticle to 400 yards with excellent results.

MontMikeZeiss has a 30 mm Conquest that comes in 3-12 now. Just another option to look at.

Lhook7I went with a Zeiss Conquest 4.5 X 14 on my .300 RUM Sendero and really like it. If you are looking for options other than Luepold, give them a look.

ShootOnethanks guys, prob. go with a 4.5-14 LR, not sure about the boone and crockett reticle, leupold has theses new turrets that you get calibrated to your individual handload so i might go that route. thanks guys

JBDI mounted a 6.5x20x40 with target turrets on my 7 Ultra Sendero using a Leupold long range mount. I have made shots on Mule Deer too long to tell about. The only thing I may finally change is the reticle. For early morning and late evening shots a German #4 reticle would probably be much better than the four plex I currently use. For long range work which I assume you are considering I don't like the mil dot or any thing like the new reticles with range marks Leupold is offering. Get a range finder and turrets, then tape a chart with the necessary come ups on your stock. Its quick and I guarantee it works.
