Hi Folks,
I am going to purchase a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe 300 Mag. here and I need your input on a good scope and mounts. I live in a place with no gun smiths so I need your input. The last weatherby I had I put a Leaupold Vari-X 3 scope on it with Redfield mounts I believe. That was 30 years ago and I no nothing about current optics. So anyone who can help me I appreciate it. I am 70 yrs. old and this will be my last rifle probably. So if you were going to do this what would you buy ?
