Easy answer = take whatever the rifle cost X 2; any scope in that price range should do nicely.

I had a Leupold 1.75-6X32 on a 358 Norma for the better part of a decade. It could have been a straight 4X and I wouldn't have missed the other Xs at all.
I offloaded the Norma and went to a lighter 9.3X62. It wears a 6X36 LR.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

My current one wears a 2.5X8 and my last one had a 1.75X6 Both work extremely well.

I'm looking really hard at the new Leupold VX-3i 1.75-6x32. Look no further. I have that scope on a 350RM. ALL YOU NEED.

Still waiting for the Krieger barrel to get done. I have been sticking with Muzzle Loaders and hand cannons for elk for a few years now. Next fall I will get a rifle tag to look for a nice bull. It will have plenty of time to work up loads and get a feel for the rifle.

I offloaded the Norma and went to a lighter 9.3X62. It wears a 6X36 LR. Hey Rick ... I did the same thing. Had a 375CT and 358Norma. Both were sold and will be replaced with a much lighter 35Whelen. Scope will be either a FXII 4x or older Vari-X III 2.5-8.
