Newbie looking for scope information!!!

[clhdluke]

I have a Remington 700 in .300 WSM and need to replace my scope. While window shopping at a local sporting and outdoors retailer, I was told by one of the firearms sales people that I could easily use a Leupold Golden Ring Ultimate Slam with the sabot ballistics reticle, which could be used for ranging on my rifle or any rifle for that matter as a scope is a scope. Is this true? I have a chance to get this very scope for a song (just by coincidence) from a friend who is getting rid of his hunting gear due to financial issues (he has never used it on any gun - muzzle loader or shotgun or centerfire). Please if anyone can help clear this up for me please pass along your wisdom-my rookie lack of experience has reared it's ugly head once again.

Absolutely - you could mount the scope on your Remmy, no problem. As for actually using the "sub-reticles", sure you could. Sight your rifle in normally and then figure-out where the other cross-wires line-up.
