Rifle Scopes Recoil consideration for picking out a scope.

I got a smoking deal on a 300 RUM from my LGS. It was built by what used to be Red Hawk Rifles (still in business just mostly selling parts now).

Anyway, this is my first venture into a magnum cartridge. I have .308's, 6.5 Grendel, 270wsm, etc. But nothing that would be considered a spicy meatball.

I'm assuming that any higher end glass (Vortex, NF, S&B, etc) have got to be rated for these recoil impulses. Should I have any special consideration when looking for glass to put on top of this thing? Or am I just worrying about nothing?

I appreciate the info!
