A 8 - 32x NXS should have enough magnification for some short range plinking and the weight helps to settle the rifle.

These two are right on a long range rifle but if you are putting this on a hunting rifle a luepold vx3 2.5-8x33 or their 4.5 -14 will be a good choice out to 400 yards for pigs goats and deer camels donkeys.

It's going on a Tikka T3x lite stainless in left hand along with a spare boyd stock i've got collecting dust. I'm using it for a hunting rifle, i think 5.5 is small enough for a hunter in 300wm, plus you've got plenty up it's sleeve if you want to stretch it's legs. It is on the heavier side of scopes, and physically much bigger than the leupold, but from everything i've seen will take a serious beating and a bit of weight on a 300 is fine with me.
I've got the Leupold vx-3i in 4.5-14 like deye243 mentioned on my tikka 270 and it's a nice scope too, although it doesn't compare to the nightforce, but to be fair doesn't cost as much either.
