    Suggestions for scope on 338wm

    Without getting too carried away, what would be your options for a scope on a 338wm? It will mainly be used for up to 600m (maybe more once comfortable) range shooting, but my range accessibility is limited so I don't want to sink a ton of money into it.

    Sightron S3 are excellent scopes. Very precise dialling.
    MOA 2 ret will work nicely.

    I know I'm good, but I'm not out to make other people feel bad... Unfortunately no iron sights on this one

    If your going to shoot to 600 odd and you don't want to sink the money a VX6 or more will cost you.
    Then I recommend this, or similar, depending on your reticle choice.

    And long eye relief, which with a 338win mag is probably a good thing
