I am venturing into new territory, and would appreciate some help on what suggestions for a scope for a 458 lott. Need long eye relief obviously, but also scope tube long enough to fit on the long action. Many new scopes are just way too short. I know, I know. Question has probably been asked before, but would appreciate feedback anyway. Not dead horse comments please. Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum | ||

I have the new swaro z6 EE 1-6 x 24. I'm very happy with it. NRA Life Member DSC Life Member Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves. Ronald Reagan | |||

1.5-5X Leupold is what I ahve on my 450 Dakota. So far it is unfazed, and my loads are probably 200fps faster than what you will shoot. Rich DRSS Knowledge not shared is knowledge lost... | |||

I have no idea how old it is, but it's been on that gun for seven years now. George | |||

Leupold 1.5x - 5 VX3 on Weatherby 460 with lots of full tilt 500 Grain loads. Scope is fine but the targets didn't fair too well. | |||

I have a Leupold VX II 3x9 on a .416 Weatherby and a custom .458 Win Mag. Both perform well. | |||

Four the last four years and approximately 500 rounds, I used a 1x4 Varix-II Leupold scope. It was designated as a "shotgun" scope and was parallex adjusted at 75 yards. It functioned flawlessly during that time. Bull1 | |||

I have the illuminated VxIII 1.5-5 on my 458 LOTT. It works just fine, and no recoil issures. | |||

The older Leupold m8 2.5 power is great and will take a beating. I have 2 vxII 2-7 both on model 70 rifles one on a 458 wm and one on a 416 Rem, and have held up for several years with zero problem, leupold says max ring spacing is 5.2" LostHorizonsOutfitters.com ---------------------------- "You may all go to hell, and I will go to Texas" Davy Crockett 1835 ---------------------------- | |||

I think the Leupold 1.5x5 is the perfect scope for the application. It will fit magnum length actions without extension rings. I would also suggest Talley QD mounts. JPK  Free 500grains | |||

Mine is a 2.5 compact Leupold, on a light Whitworth. 2 years and no loss of zero with some hot loads. Frank | |||

I have a 3/4x5 Safari Burris scope on my 458 Lott. It gives a very clear picture. | |||
