I will say though, that the more I shoot with scopes, the more I think that the 1-4 and 1-6 scopes with illuminated reticles are the way to go.
3-9 will always be the standard, and it is super versatile, and generally the least expensive. It has a lot going for it. I own 3-9 scopes, and will continue to use them.
BUT 1-4 is my go to scope on my go to gun. It is incredible to me what you can do with them. You can shoot them with both eyes open. They give up almost nothing in the speed department to red dot sights, particularly if illuminated. But you can also make pinpoint shots with them when using fine reticles. Best of both worlds, and the most forgiving in terms of eye relief and awkward shooting positions. They are almost like Iron Sights Version 2.0.
On a 300 WSM hunting rifle, 3-9 screams as the appropriate choice, but I would at least look at a couple of the 1-4's to make sure that is what I wanted.
