Hunting Scope for 338 RUM

[gigarange]

I have a custom 338 RUM hunting rifle that I am looking to put a scope on. What would you recommend that would be able to withstand the recoil and also get the most out of this cartridge/rifle setup? Thanks

Nightforce of your choice.

Are ya trying to keep the weight down to a reasonable carry weight?

If so, while great scopes, Nightforce's are generally fairly heavy. If you're tot'n it……every ounce adds up! memtb

Vortex PST 6-24X50. Discontinued but available from individuals. The Gen l's have 4" of eye relief which helps if you're shooting without a brake. As I recall weight is "only" 23 ounces.

I've had mine configured a few ways depending on use. A couple of Nightforces, a couple of Leupold Mark 4's.

NightForce NXS 8-32x56 with MilDot. If you have interest, I have one with rings I can part with. Came of my LPR 300 WM. Great glass and plenty of magnification. I don't thing the Mildot reticle can be beat, but scope is MOA not MIL.
