The SWFA'S aren't bad choices, but I would honestly pick up two Nightforces in the used section here when you can find two of the same like you want.

Re: new to precision shooting, need optics advice
A used Nightforce would be a great addition to each rifle. However, the SWFA HD line, Leupold MK4 line, and US Optics lines are also great glass and you should spend a considerable amount of time researching all of them before you pick.

New to precision shooting, 308WIN and 338LM, $1500 budget per scope?
I might have a left field perspective but if you don't see yourself shooting past 800 yards anytime soon, I would buy the exact scope you want for the 308WIN, get proficient in that, save up, then decide later on the 338LM scope -- if you dont reload, $6 per 338LM round to shoot a distance you can easily touch with a $1 308WIN round can be painful. Also, the experience with the one scope you buy will greatly shape your definition on what features, qualities & ergonomics are ideal for you.
