Just picked up a Carl Gustaf 3000 (Sauer 80) in 9.3x62 and it came with the rings and bases shown in attached photos. Any suggestions for what scope to get? Was thinking an older Kahles or Zeiss.

That setup looks a bit high. If using a low power scope (which would seem practical for that caliber), I can't see the need for extended front ring. Low power scope would have straight tube on the objective end. Can you use standard rings with those bases? I would go with low QD rings. My guns have Warne QD rings and very pleased with them.
 
I'd recommend Zeiss, underrated, cheap and extremely good.
 
My choice would be Zeiss Victory HT 2.5-10x50, Zeiss V6 2-12x50 or a Zeiss V8 1.8-14x50 but it is a tad heavier then others.

Another good option Swarovski Z8i 1.7-13.3x42. Leica Magnus 1.8-12x50 would be good also.

Put on the glass that suits your eyes
 
Zeiss if wanting to stay in the culture. If not then Leupold will get the job done.

Good morning,
Did you hunt w Leeuwkop at their ranch or in Zimbabwe? The ranch looks awesome, but I'll be in Zimbabwe for buffalo and whatever else we dig up.
What did you hunt for?
Vaccines?
What rifle did you use?
I feel like I need a good cotton safari shirt and an ammo belt to make the hunt feel right!
How often did you shoot prior to going?
Did you use sticks for shooting practice?
