Which one would you buy and why?

I want it for a .338 Lapua for ranges of 1000-1900 yards

I'm looking at all Three, I am new to long range shooting but I really like it already.. I made another thread, if you guys could, could you check it out and maybe help me out a little bit?
 
I would want more than 15x at just 1000 yards, and would absolutely need it at 1900 yards. Which for me would rule out the TARS for that use.
 
I have to ask...is the .338 your primary rifle? Already purchased the rifle?

Whichever scope you decide on, make sure you have adequate eye relief.

It is going to be my primary rifle, I plan on buying/building one now.
 
Even if money is not an issue, you really might want to think about a lighter recoiling caliber for learning LRP. .338 Lapua Magnum will probably cause you to develop a flinch pretty quickly.

Thought about 6.5 Creedmoor? Even .300WM with a good brake would more tolerable than .338LM!

As far as scopes, the PMII or Beast will both serve you well.
