I've ordered a Savage .338 Lapua and now I need a scope to go with it, I'm new at the long range shooting, I was hopping to go Moose hunting this fall, any advice on good long range scopes would be great.

In case your wodering why noone is replying.... Its because this specific question has been asked many times.. And on top of that the scope doesn't depend on your rifle, but more so your application.
To summarize, you can't go wrong with a SWFA/Vortex/Nightforce scope.

I can't tell you how many calls we get at the shop of guys outfitting this exact rifle. It's almost getting to the point where guys call in saying they have a savage and I complete their sentence by saying 110BA, then we laugh about how popular that rifle is becoming.
Anyway, the most popular scope has been the Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 NPR-1 HS/ZS. We have been doing a ring 1.00" in height for those rigs on that scope because of the rail system forward of the action (usually .885 is high enough).

Anyway, give us a call if we can help.
Congrats on the new rifle!

As stated above, the scope depends on the application, such as distance, etc. Your budget is also critical.
I currently have mounted a Millet illuminated LRS on my Savage 110 BA. The scope has been on the rifle for almost a year and it has been through 100s of rounds and is holding up fine. It is a relatively inexpensive scope.
This summer I plan to shoot the 1 mile mark when I travel out West. In Florida the longest range we have is 1,000 yards. When I shoot the one mile distance, I will transfer my Nightforce NSX 12-42 to the 110 BA.
Try to get a quality scope in your price range, that can handle the .338 recoil (which is relatively mild due to the weight and muzzle brake). The recoil is more of a push than a hard hit. It will push the gun backwards. I have had the front flip up lens cap come off the gun due to recoil.
Bottom line, almost any quality scope will work if it offers the magnification that you need for your purpose. Have fun.
