Rifle Scopes Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I'm looking at getting a scope for a .338 Lapua for shooting out to 1000 yards. The Trijicon Accupoint 5-20X50 has my eye. Is it adequate in quality and features for the job? Would I be better off going with a US Optics, Nightforce, or Trijicon TARS? Would it be worth the extra money?
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

Just topped my 110ba .338 lapua with a nightforce 5.5-22x56 mil/mil, couldn't be happier. ^^^^Jay took care of me too, thanks jay!
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I just stopped to eat lunch on my way back from sport optics. The nightforce is a great choice or the kahles. I looked through both earlier and they're great.
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I don't think that trijicon has enough travel to fully utilize the .338
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I've been very happy with how my USO SN-3 5-25 has worked with my 338LM. If you like the idea of a FFP scope get behind one and see how you like it.
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I'm running a Bushnell HDMR on my PGW Timberwolf. The glass isn't as good as Nightforce, but it tracks perfect. Hard to beat for the money.

Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I have a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 on my .338, I was going to do a PST but there were too many reviews of PSTs failing after ~800 rounds, now PST has a great warranty so no biggie but still a headache I didn't want to deal with. The Nightforce was a no brainier.
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

S&B 5-25 with the H2CMR reticule, doesn't get much better.
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

The nightforce 5.5-22 is a pretty good option, I've been using a 6-24 Sightron and it's worked out really well with its 100 Moa elevation and great glass.
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

Get a FFP scope. I've used the following scopes on a few 338LM and had no issues.

S&B 5-25
USO 3.8-22
IOR 3-18
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

My Vortex Razor 5-20x50 with the EBR-3 reticle serves my 338 LM very well
 
Re: Looking for a scope for a .338 Lapua

I just put a March FX 5X40 56mm on my MRAD 338 LM and it is great for the $3200 price. Clear glass, FFP, mil/mil with great reticle, tactical turrets with 0.05 mil clicks and novel easy zero stop. You should check out the reviews on this. Should take you past 1500 yds on canted 30 MOA rail. Good shooting.
