The Fullfield II is an excellent scope. I'm 95% sure it can handle a 300 RUM's recoil, but it wouldn't hurt to see what Burris says.

I think the burris is a fine choice and should handle the recoil. I put the Leupold VX-II on my 300 rum because of the longer eye relief. Make sure the Burris has generous eye relief because I have heard horror stories about getting recoil kissed by the RUM.

If in doubt, pay a little more and get one of the burris scopes with posi-lock. The posi-lock was specifically designed for high recoil/jarring cartridges, it is additional set of screws/springs that locks down the reticle after sighted in.

I think I will definitly have to get one with posi lock. It never hurts to have a little extra assurance.

hey chester, you ever have any problems with the leupold?One of my lenses has a smear on it.I tried to clean with a soft cloth and windex it didnt come off tried contacting leupold never replied. Seems to work fine, I just don't like the smear on it

Special wipes for cleaning eye glasses also works fine, Leupold sells their own brand of scope lense cleaners that is the same for glasses with a different label on it.

Milliondollar, just as 147 grain said, any top quality eye care cleaner will work. Also, I have a friend who has the same scope and he had a smear on his but it was on an inside lens surface. Not a problem that Leupold can't fix but a pain in the @$$. I have several Leupolds (Vari-x iii)and can see them going downhill a bit in quality control but I trust them with my life as I have never had one fail me. Until they let me down I will continue to use them.

I like the scope I've had it on the same gun (rem 30-06) for at least ten years and it's still right on.My friend got a new Nikon last year ,when looking thru it it seems more brighter in low light

The Nikons are brighter for sure but I trust the leupold to go through the war and back and the jury is still out on the nikon (for me atleast). Your Leupold (being 10+ yrs old) is likely the older Vari-x ii and not the newer VX-II but send it to Leupold on the off-season to have it redone. They may just switch it out for you and you would get the upgraded VX-II.

I like the leupold I bought because my buddy suggested it . He said it dosen't come with lens covers because the warrenty was the best in the biz.
