Good Morning guys. New to the forum here and have a couple questions. Ow before you ask I did do a search but didn't find what I was looking for. Question is what scope are you guys running for 1000yards+? Been looking at Nightforce but those are out of my $1500 budget. Was looking at HiLux Phenom and they are relatively cheep at 800 but they have 100MOA elevation and 60MOA wind with 2nd focal plane and locking turret. What are you guys using? Weapon is Savage 110BA Stealth in .338 LM. Load will be a Lehigh solid bronze boat tail at 245grain loaded into new Lapua brass at 250grain. Don't know the powder charge yet just getting into this. Plans are to warm up at 1000 and go out to at least 1760

Compete novice... bought my first rifle, a Thomson Compass 300 win mag. I have no idea if this is a good rifle, but at 180 after rebate, thought it was worth a shot.

Any info will help. Where to shoot, any advice on bullet choices? Eventually, I'll reload... so that will be a future bridge to cross.

Btw, put on a cheap scope and tripod to get started. 20171130_002206.jpg

The gun is MOA guaranteed I believe. You gotta earn your cred some place and that is a fine package to start with. Shoot the gun, get your DOPE and start working 100 then 200 and 300. By the time you are making clover leaves at 300 you will have a bit of a feel for not only the game, but your capes and lims as well. Good on ya for getting started. Here is my DOPE for my 300 Win Mag rig out to 500.
