Hunters- looking for some gun and scope advice
Ok, I am looking for a new gun. First- the scopes I am looking at are the Leupold VX3 3.5-10 40mm, and a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 40mm. I am going to Cabelas Saturday to look at them, but I would like some opinions. The Zeiss is actually $70 cheaper than the Leupold.
Next the gun. I am pretty much settled on a Remington Model 7 7mm short action ultra mag. Does anyone own one, or know someone that has one? I would just like some opinions on that too.

you have an amazing gun choice;)
as far as the scopes you cant go wrong with the leupold or the zeiss.... but if you go with zeiss.... spend the extra 100 bucks and get the conquest 3-9x50. trust me its worth it. my dad has the 3-9x50 on his and its an amazing scope. the 3-9x40 isnt a bad choice either, but i just like how the 3-9x50 is bigger, and has the bigger cross hair. hope this helps.
oh and i know a few people on here said 50mm isnt needed, and it may not be in some cases, but i guess im just used to them since i've had 3-9x50 scopes on all my guns. either way your not gonna go wrong on your scope choice.
