Wow, this thread has been flying today.
My 3-9 Monarch is the simple plex because I am a simple man .
I like them both about the same. The reticles are very similar. Regarding brightness and clarity, I could pick up evergreen branches @ 300 yards 1/2 hour past sunset equally well with each. Contrast and resolution I would call a draw.
The Rainguard might be an abvantage and the 3-9 Monarch is no longer made. This might be a deciding factor.
They both are matte and dimensioned nicely. They won't over power or detract from the looks of a short action rifle.

o ya, well in an earlier post i posted that i bought a new remington 700 but that was actullay a gun my friend got and wanted some opinions so i posted for him. Im actually looking at the remington 700 right now and know I either want a 270 or 30.06(havent looked into this too much about the big differences b/t the two), ive also been looking at the browning a-bolt as well but havent made any decisions yet.

depending on which remington you buy, the browning may cost more browning's are nice with the clip they have, i have two of them myself both are very accurate, remingtons are very nice too. i like the 30-06 myself out of the two you listed, i dont know if you reload or not, but the 30-06 will have a lot more weights of bullets to choose from than the .270 will. but the .270 isnt a bad choice either, at least you know with either one of those you wont ever be anywhere without ammo being available

i agree, they both are good, but I just got done talking with the owner of a gun store and with the type of hunting im doing i believe a 300 might be the best cliber for me, even though its a little much for 50-75 yards it will still do the job. dead is dead right? So with that in mind ive now began to look at Tikka 300 win mag. What do you guys think?

awesome caliber tikkas are hot right now, if you think its in your price range buy it. at 50-75yds with the 300winmag you will just kill what ever you shoot "extra" dead no biggy, i hate feeking undergunned like elmer use to say never go in the field undergunned course he called the 300 a hell of a varmint rifle. remingtons are also very nice

thanks, ya I really liked the feel of the tikka, much lighter than the remington I shoot now but the only thing I had a question on that I forgot to ask him was about the magazine. Does anyone know if you can replace the plastic magazine with a metal one??

you said the tikka was lighter than the rem, and all i meant by that was that when you start talking about magnum calibers sometimes the weight is nice to help soften the recoil. i couldnt find any metal mags, doesnt mean they do or do not exsist though

o ok, my bad, ya im not a big guy so any extra weight is nice to lessen the recoil a bit, but that hasnt been a problem for me with a 270 and 30.06

your talking about a totally different animal in a 300winmag my friend your looking at a 180gr bullet flying 3000fps out of a 7lb rifle will be different than anything you will experience with the .270 or 30-06, now its not going to be terrible just may surprise you when you touch the first shell off
