new R1 in .300 win mag

[bluesti]

just got in my R1 .300 win and curious what rounds ppl are having luck with as i dont really have much time to be spending on ammo ...Also with kinda optics and rings ... i was thinking larue mount and leupold Swarovski or a used nightforce ????

Ammo: I've always been a fan of Federal's Vital Shok ammo when I hunt. It's one of those "My dad always used it and it worked for him" kind of things. Truth be told, I've never tried anything else.

 

Optics: I'm using the Leupold VX-3 4.5-14x50 Long Range w/ Illuminated Reticle. It's easy to adjust in the field and I've used it for as close as 25 yards to just over 500 yards.
