Thread: What magnification scope??

Hi all

I am in the process of sorting out a new hunting rig. It will be either a 7mm-08 or a 6.5x55swede

I am looking to get a Nikon vari power scope from the riflescopestore.com.

I am after input on whether to go for a 3-9x40 or a 4-12x40??

I have used a 3-9 on my 7.62x39 but wondered if having a higher magnification scope might help to make the most of the larger calibre.

thoughts chaps???

cheers
Tracy
