It is a beautiful clear day here, with light winds out of the WSW, and the temp is 41 degrees. The ground is covered with white stuff!

A little clarification. .270 caliber. The reason for my question is fear of over stressing a scope by choosing one that is too heavy in comparison to the rifle. I don't want to shorten the life of the scope. I do tend to over analyze things a bit. I won't shoot past 300 yards anyway so all I need is about a 4 power scope. I'm looking at the new Conquest fixed 4 or low power variable.

a .270 is hardly a heavy hitter as long as you buy a good quality scope you wont have any issues unless you drop it of a cliff or have a horse roll over it. a zeiss conquest is a fine example of a "quality" scope you wont have any issues with that one, 2.5x8 might not be a bad choice either

Those 150 grain SST's are lethal on deer too. Just ask the one I drilled last Monday. Oh....I forgot, you can't ask, as it's already dead.
