[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 241390, member: 8"] For scopes you can go three different routes. 1. Turret and dial up 2. Ballistic plex such as the Boone and Crockett or the ART 3. Mildot It pretty much depends upon your hunting style and the type of shots you expect to get. A ballistic plex is fast but the range will be limited to about 500-600 yards. Dial up scopes are a little slower but you can dial up for the really long shots. Mildots are very flexible as long as you are very nimble minded and can do math quickly in your head. The brand of scope depends somewhat upon your budget and there is a good article on the home page on economy scopes. A good middle of the road, high quality for the dollar is the Luepold V3 in Long Range target. If you wish to spend more then the Night Force is pretty much the gold standard Finally, there is nothing wrong with a 7 Rem mag if it is accurate. Loaded with something like a 160 Nosler Accubond or a 180 Berger it should be adequate for any deer walking around in Texas out to close to 1000 yards. Shooting deer with a 30-378 at ranges under 1000 yards is just a waste of barrel steel and deer meat. [/QUOTE]
