So i have been without a rifle for a long time now since switching to bowhunting. I need some help picking a scope, I just picked up a Kimber Montana in .300 WSM last weekend.
I have a thousand bucks worth of safety rewards points from work that i can cash in for Cabela's gift cards so that's my budget basically and i need to buy it through Cabelas.
I plan on building a round for it and want to be able to shoot out to 600yds with accuracy good enough to hunt with. Primarily deer and elk but i will be bringing it with me in the future on sheep and goat hunts as a back up in case i can't stick them with archery gear! Not really sure i want to get into dialing to shoot at longer ranges but i'am open to it.
Right now i am looking at the Swaro Z3 with the ballistic turret and the Ziess HD5 with the RapidZ recticle. What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?
Since i will be building a round for it i need another scope to sight in with right? Then order the scope with my new ballistic data?
Weight is to be considered but ultimately i want something that's easy to shoot and reliable.
