Now this is more what you might want for a good hunting rig.

Winchester leredo 300 magnum w/ 40x tasco custom shop scope.


OMG i must have over looked this

Tasco as turned into one of the cheapest scopes on the market to date. There were close to being junk before but now they have surpassed that mark. And a 40X. lol

Leopold is the only way to do when it comes to glass.

The simple fact that this guy has recomended a rifle like that tells me he knows nothing of hunting.

You want that 40x so you can shoot mosquitos.

BTW, take a look at the Burris line.  I've had great luck with their Fulfield II's with the Ballisticplex reticle.  Their 3-9x is a very nice scope.

Why Leupold?  I was dragging my fat arse up to a tree stand with the hope of bagging a nice 160lb sow we had seen in the woods earlier.  I dropped my Mk77 about 20 feet to the forest floor. :/  I climbed down and called it a day.  The rifle was fine but the scope wasn't (Leupold vari x II)  sent it to Leupold and Stevens in Beaverton Or. with a note explaining what had occurred.  They sent the scope back better than new.  no charge.

Bingo you hit the nail right on the head.

They dont care what happened to the scope that broke it in the first place. They are one of the few companies that I know of who care only of making the customer happy at all costs.

For the money (sure they cost more but not as much as others who claim to be the "best") they are the best hands down.

You break it, you get a new one. How easy is that?

Here's a few more pics of our "Bass Pro Shope" as you have come to refer to it as such.





I figured I toss in a pic on my friend Chris who works there part time for us. A big civl war reinactment nut and an even bigger gun nut. He's quite the character.
