re: Long Range Scope Recommendations for 338 Lapua

I guess what I am asking is what size target are you shooting at 1000 yards?

I would also suggest talking with Chris at interstate guns/sport optics in Hammond their knowledge is unsurpassed in scopes and optics. If you ever pass through there you can put your hands on anything listed in this thread and even more high dollar stuff

I would encourage a situation like this for sure. Especially with the coin your about to drop on a scope. I'll take a bit of customer service and some hands on over price "most days;)"
I also read a lot of good info in the other post:
"rings" I agree don't skimp there.
"Price per round" can be a big deal.
"Recoil" that 338 will let you know you live:)
"Budget" like one of the posters said if you are in 1500 -2000 dollar range his top 5 wouldn't include certain brand names. I don't disagree. There are a lot of great quality scopes out there to choose from, don't move to quick on a purchase and shop around.
"Reviews" be careful when reading them. I especially love the ones that say this thing is great haven't mounted it or shot it "looks awesome it's the best deal going.

Take the things I've said with a grain of salt. I'm just an old dumb bastard anyway. I tend to lean on experience of others so I would desperately try to find a long range shooter I could shake hands with and pic their brain to no end. Best of success
