    I want a good group at 300yards for hunting. The field conditions can be bad to say the least. It has to beable to take a beating and still hold zero.

    OK here is an opinion based on your hunting use for the rifle. Two opinions really; I would go with the Leupold fixed 4x (or maybe the 6x) which is (are) quite reasonable. My other scope choice would be a Burris. Take a look at www.bearbasin.com for great prices and good service. I would mount either with Dave Talley bases and rings http://www.talleyrings.com/ You should be set for years of hunting. Wish I were going...[This message has been edited by He Dog (edited 04-06-2002).]
