Congratulations on completing your law enforcement career, and thanks for your service.
Other people can help you with the scope question better than I, but are you sure you want a NULA in .300 Win Mag? It would seem like a dream retirement rifle would be one you would want to enjoy shooting a lot. I have a NULA in .257 WBY, and its recoil feels more like a 7mm does in a standard weight rifle. I think a .300 Win NULA would be snappy.
I would suggest you take a hard look at the above post ! I have a model 28 in 300 win mag and another one of Melvin's rifles in 280 AI...guess which one I enjoy shooting and can hit the best with ! As far as elk the 280 AI kills them just as dead as the 300 without the pain !
