Thanks, Ive got 1 nice 10 point on my trail cam that Ive been watching since it was in velvet. If the camera doesn't add too much, its pushing the 260 to 280 mark weight wise.

Your Very Welcome!!! Wow you sure that's a deer ? Sounds like a moose got loose , keep us posted thks hope you get him !
If these are the choices and only these, I'd do the following:
Leica on .338, use that for deer. More rifle than necessary? Yes, for sure. But that scope and rifle combo makes sense and you indicated having an inclination toward using it, and more importantly the low end of that scope is much more suitable for short range deer work.
After that, put the Leupold on whichever of the other two you like better and/or do more target work with, as it should hold zero and track much better than the vortex. I would put it on the .308 for such things.
The vortex then goes on the .243 for varmints and such with the higher magnification. Less recoil should help it last longer as already suggested.

So, I left the Mark 4 LR/T on the Remington 5R...put the Leica 2.5x10 on the Peirce Custom 338...and put a new (just out) Vortex Tactical II 4x16 on the Remington 700 243. Happy for the time being...LOL
