Weatherby Mk V DGR
Just recently bought this rifle and decided to buy a Nikon Monarch 3 2-8x32 scope and was thinking of using Leupold QR mounts. It's in 460Wby and hopefully the scope will hold up Smiler

Good choice?

If it doesn't have them already make sure your mount screws are 8/40. Good luck!

I have an unfired Wby DGR in 458 Win Mag for $1,695 if anyone wants one. It was part of a trade deal, but I already have too many big bore rifles.

The scope is a great one, but the .460 Wby. will be a real test for it. Fortunately, Nikon WILL fix it free if it fails.

The recoil velocity of that round is high (almost as high as the king of scope-wreckers, the .378 Wby.).

Excellent choice of scope. You wont be sending it back because it may be the strongest of all scopes on the market.

The 2 is low enough for follow up and the 8 is great for 200-300 yard plains game
