RE: Scope opinions please
You need to learn to take the pounding of the .338 Win Mag long before you can think about shooting it at long range. The thing kicks hard, and it hurts. Make sure you don't have a flinch before you start looking at glass of 12 - 14x magnification.
IMHO, a good ol' 3-9x is perfect for that gun, even a 2-7x.
