Rifle Scopes From a 100 yds to a 1000 yds..

[Ticeman]

Thats the range i'll be shooting deer, give this newbie a scope recommendation in terms of magnification. Thanks fellas.

One other thing, what kinda eye relief would be recommended? Gun is a 338 LM.

Get a Hensoldt or Schmidt and Bender 3-12, if you can't afford that then give us a budget you can afford to give us something to work off of.

$600 or less.

Walk closer...And switch rifles to save some money for something nice. I don't normally get all but hurt over long-range hunting, but really $600 is all you can afford to throw on a rifle chambered in $5 bills?

I agree. If you can stretch your budget to 1000 get a vortex pst ffp.

Whatever you've been using for your 1000yd practice ought to work.

Maybe look here for and older Leupold in 14x or 20x.

Counter Sniper would be great for what you are wanting to do.

I dont think that is enough gun for Deer

Re: From a 100 yds to a 1000 yds..

I would say a counter sniper would be good for a new guy shooting deer at 1000 with a 338 lapua

 

[sheepfever]

Re: From a 100 yds to a 1000 yds..

15X or 25X will both work.

Evidently, they're not held in high regard here...

If you want to get serious then get a USO SN9

Re: From a 100 yds to a 1000 yds..

Have you looked at the NC Star line? Or tasco?

 

[bschneiderheinze]

Re: From a 100 yds to a 1000 yds..

I could be wrong but Im not sure there is a scope in the 600 ramge that would be good for hunting that would go 100-1000. There are some fixed power scopes, but they would not work well at 100, most variable scopes in that range would probably run out of elevation.

 

[joemusso]

Re: From a 100 yds to a 1000 yds..

i would sell the .338 and buy a .308 and spend more money on glass
as stated above .338 is a lot of gun for deer hunting
