You just posted a short time ago that you bought a $4K Nighthawk and a bunch of other guns, it literally does not make sense that you are looking at used/older rifles for a once in a lifetime trip, given the awesome state of the art hunting rifles available nowadays for cheap money (a Tikka for well under $1K is a perfect example and has been suggested). You have also posted about bench/target rifles you have had built and the optics you have put on them but yet cannot figure out a good scope for hunting? Not trying to argue with you but the questions you are asking just do not make sense given your knowledge.

Here's my recommendations for scopes, throw one of these on a Tikka stainless/synthetic in 270 or 30-06 and you are good to go. All have Firedots, which I think would be beneficial in low light conditions that you might be hunting in.
