i did have 3x10 swaro. put that on my 223 because i don't shoot the lapua much anymore. now i have a 2-8x leupold. just about perfect for hunting. will probably end up putting a fixed 6 on it before too awful long, something with target knobs.

My .338 Lapua has a 4.5 X 14 Ziess Conquest mounted on it and according to my grandson, there is no better medicine for Elk. He convinced me to put down my .358 STA for one season and darned if he didn't have a point, now I have three perfect Elk rifles along with my old tried and true .340 Wby. A 225 grain North Fork bullet with 98 grains of H-1000 and Fed 215M primer churned 3100 fps and turned out to be the perfect combo. Good shooting.

My 338 Lapua wears a 5X25 S&B PM11 and it is a hell of a Long Range Hammer with the 300 SMK

i've got a 4.5x14leupold i might throw on it, i dont think i'll be elk hunting this year but i should draw montana for deer, i know its overkill but i would like to take a deer at a longer distance with this gun if the oppertunity presents it's self. the 225gr h-1000 sounds like a good load to start with.
