Two years ago I inherited my hunting partners ULA in .300 WIn
He bought it new from Melvin and it had a Leupold 2.5-8 mounted on it. He killed a lot of elk out to about 400 yards but complained that he wanted a higher power scope.
When I got it I replaced that scope with a Leuopld 3-10 w/BDC. Same scope that's on my Kimber Montana 300 WSM.
Both rifles are set up for the same bullet. 165 Barnes factory load.
I took the ULA to WY last year and killed a 6x6 at 460 yards but the scope cover bit me during recoil and I had blood running down my face.First time in over 60 years behind the trigger that I got bit.
I've got 8 "elk" rifles in the safe and they all have taken multiple elk but the 3 light ones are the ones that get carried a lot and shot just a few times. A 280 Mountain rifle, the Montana and the ULA.The ULA kicks worse that any of my other rifles including my 77 Ruger 338.
Get that NULA and go hunt elk but buy something heavier for your long range shooting.
