I would like to put a scope on my Remington M-798 in 458 win mag. Any suggestions?
Thank you all in advance.

Have you considered some type of red dot? Depends on what you plan on using the rifle for I know, but I really like red dots both for getting on target fast and as an option other than open sights on a big bore.

Just a thought.
 
Royal27 you read my story about the Trijicon RMR.

That's what I would use.......in absence of experience with the other red dots.
Mine is great and as you say, quick and easy!

I did, and I agree. A couple of years ago I kind of rolled my eyes at red dots, but my opnion has really changed.

And if anyone wonders if I really like them on a big bore just look at my face after I shoot.... :)

 
I used scope Schmidt&Bender Zénith 1,1-4x24 with FD7 reticle for my last buffalo hunt in very thick bush.
I think use this one for an other dangerous game trip.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
