Scope advise for .338 UM

[cwhitenton]

I've got a new .338 Ultra Mag and now I'm in the hunt for the perfect scope. Price isn't an issue, just need an all-around scope that can handle her recoil. Your suggestions and experience are greatly appreciated.

I have a Browning A bolt II in a .338 Ultra mag and I have a leupold LPS 2.5-10 and it works great. It is one of the best scopes I have.

If price is no object then go with the swarwarski scopes. They have one with a built in laser rangefinder for around $5000.....did I say five thousand dollars????? Yeah I guess I did.

Took a look at that LPS you suggested at riflescopes.com

I have a Leupold VXII 3x9x40 on mine and have never had a problem with it. Before it I put a little VX I and it held like a champ.

You dont have to pay alot to have something nice!!!!
KIND OF LIKE THE OLD BOY THAT GOT COUGHT SCREWING THE SOW..
IT AINT THE LOOKS ,, IT'S THE FEELING THAT COUNTS.

Leupold, you pick the power range according to what you hunt. Buy 3 more rifles with the $5000.

Good Luck and Good Hunting,

Leupold, model and power is up to you.

I have a .300 RUM with a Leupold Vari X III 4.5-14 power. Like it a lot.

i don't have one of these huge Ultra mags. but i would go with whatever scope has the best eye relief. for you.

BTW how are those L.P.S. scopes?
