I just purchased a Remington 700 270WSM that I will use as my big game rifle for out west (from Ohio). I also just picked up a VX-3 3.5x10x50 matte finished rifle scope at a local gun show. Do you think 10 power is adequate for this rifle or should I step up to a 12x or 14x scope? I fugure I will never shoot beyond 250-300 anyways. I have always been a Leupold guy but there is a Vortex for sale in the Classified section that strikes my fancy!
Also, the Leupold came with rings that are the picatinny or weaver style rings, I am not really sure what the difference is. I have been to three local stores looking for a base for a Remington 700 for these rings and nobody caries them.
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Erik
