Ouch...that thing kicks
Guys,
Got a semi-custom .243 on the way w/24" fluted barrel (bolt action) and plan on using it for double duty (e.g., whistle pigs, coyotes & deer) out to 300 yds. I've always pretty much used 1" scopes w/ 40-42 mm objectives and I'm finding as I get older, the more magnification the better. I've been looking around and I think I'm going to go with a Leupold VX-3 6.5 to 20 with the 30 mm tube (40 mm objective). Anything I need to consider on this? (e.g., mounting height, clearance over ejection port, etc.).
Thanks!
