Can't go wrong with Nightforce. I am a sightron fan myself. I run a sightron SIII 6-24 x 50 LR Tactical With MOA 2 Retical on my 110 BA 338 LM. Also have same model in 3.5 -10 and 8-32. Never had a problem and all are very clear a track great. I've owned a viper pst and one viper hs. Experienced problems with both the hs and pst (elevation and focus knobs giving out and not adjusting- internal issues)
The sightron is available in first and second focal plane and with illuminated reticle if you desire. So the features once giving up to the vipers are pretty much mute now.
I run mine on the standard rail the ba came with and have 64 moa of elevation After sighting in. Which will do 1700 yards with my setup. You can run aftermarket rails with more slope built in the rail. Savages rail is more like 10 moa then the advertised 20. I'm dialed for 300 yd zero and can correct to any closer distance if needed 100 yds etc.
If you search the ammunition and reloading section here I did a nice write up of my load experience with 300 SMK. May be useful to you.
Only piece of advise is don't skimp on rings. Nightforce/ken farrel/ Leupold Mark 4 are the way to go.
Recently took a whitetail doe at 1000 yards with mine. The power in this cartridge is quit impressive
Good luck and happy shooting
