Rifle Scopes What scope and power

[DENAUS4]

Hey guys i am buying a rem 700 mlr in 338 lapua. I want to use it for shooting long range target and possibly a bit of hunting.

What magnification would be a good choice? and what brand? I have a little to spend and would like to get something like a USO sn3 or a nightforce.

Would it be best to get the adjustments in mils

I would love to be able to shoot it to 1000m (with alot of learning)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Re: What scope and power

A Nightforce 5.5-22x50mm or 56mm is a great choice. Anywhere around 20-25 power on the high is great. Mils or MOA is your personal preference. Just get the reticle the same as the turrets.

What kind of options do you want for the scope? Nightforce is solid, but USO gives you a lot more features to choose from. Basically depends on what you want out of the purchase.

Oh yeah, and the nightforce scope suggested is a good magnification choice, and if you want to go USO 3.2-17x or 3.8-22x will do he job. I chose a USO 3.8-22x in mil/mil basically because I wanted a little extra magnification and went with mils because it's more universal and in my opinion easier to use. Obviously others think differently, just what I thought having started on moa scopes.
