Scope advise for .338 UM
 

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

Very nice scope and a 4.5 in eye relief. No since in gettin' meat on both ends! Thanks for the help.

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!!!!

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.

RE: Scope advise for .338 UM
 

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?
