I am fresh to long range shooting. I am having a 338 Lapua Magnum built on a ESS chassis from MDT. Doing some research, it sounds like the scope needs to be able to handle the power I assume of the rifle. My other concern is I can only see out of the center of my right eye. So I think I want a illuminated reticle and crosshairs I can see. I guess kids of light good readable crosshairs. Thank u
