Save on the gun spend on the scope. I have a JP Sauer 100XT. About $700. In .308 it shoots one whole 3 shot groups at 100yds. I have a Meopta on it. The Glass is really good. Illumination on the reticle is not great (i would skip illumination if buying again). You may want a heavier cartridge for your needs, but i highly recommend The JP Sauer and the Meopta.

Don’t miss out on primitive season. 35 whelen CVA scout, Leupold vx-3, silencerco 36m or rugged Alaskan.
You joke, but my 35 whelen has become my favorite deer hunting rifle. I have an encore, but the cva’s are nice too. It’s accurate, a lot shorter than my suppressed 28 nosler, and hits like a ton of bricks. I hand load 200gr Hammers for it, and wouldn’t be scared to take a 300-400 yard shot if I had a scope better suited for that.
I like shooting a 35 whelen so much, I currently have a 30-06 BLR at a custom shop getting an 18” carbon fiber 35 whelen barrel put on it. Putting a rugged Alaskan can on it, and Leica glass also.

Yep, it was part joke but part serious. I shot an 8 pt last season at 300 yards. It’s definitely not a handicap for primitive season.
