any suggestion for new scope.

[300 RUM]

I shoot a 300 RUM and love it. Since you are going for elk and getting the ultra mag I assume you are going for a long range shooter?

I have a 5-15x50 Bushnell Elite 3200 on mine, it has withstood several hundred rounds so far without a hitch.

If I had it to do over again I would Put on a Burris Fullfield II 4-14x42 with the ballistic plex. A friend of mine just got a 300 RUM and put one on it and I am very impressed with it. They also have a 4-16x44 in their Signature Select series I looked at in the shop the other day. VERY NICE!

The 4-14 Fullfield was $339.00 the 4-16 Select was $439.00

That ballistic plex is real nice for the long shots. And after a few tests at the range we were keeping 5 out of 5 shots in a paper plate at 500 yards. For some that may not be great, but for us thats darn good.

If your shooting factory ammo I would highly recommend the 180gr Swift Scirocco they are very accurate and have been devastating on Mule deer.
