Might find some info here, while waiting for replies...

Is there such a thing as "too much" scope?

Hey all, Jumping in to the whole long-range / precision shooting world, and am a complete novice. As such, what better way to do it with a 30" 338 Lapua. I am looking at a Trijicon 5-50x56mm. Is there a downside to this scope besides maybe SFP? I know most would go with a 5-25 or something in...

Reach out to @Txhillbilly. He's pretty up on long range shooting and the scopes needed to get there accurately.

Kyle, There are plenty of scopes out there to choose from that will work great for 1k yard or farther.
It all depends on the features that you're wanting, and then matching up a scope that fills all the boxes. A lot depends on your budget, and whether you want to buy a brand new scope or a used scope. I've only bought two top tier scopes new, all the rest I've bought used for a great savings.

Zeiss makes some great scopes, but that one is brand new and Zeiss's first offer into the Tactical / PRS / Long range scope arena. I wouldn't buy one until it has been a proven product without issues.
As of right now, Tangent Theta and Zero Compromise are the best you can buy - $3500 - $4500+.

Then you go to S&B, Kahles, March, IOR, Nightforce, Steiner M series - $2500 - $3500.

From there you've got the Vortex Razor HD, Athlon Cronus BTR, Delta Stryker HD, Leupold Mark 5, Tract Toric HD, Steiner T series, along with the top end Bushnell & Burris scopes, with a few other's - $1200 - $2500.

The $1200 - $2500 scopes really don't give up much to the $2500 - $3500 scopes optically, but they just aren't as perfect as the top tier scopes are. In most cases, the shooter wouldn't be able to see the differences unless he / she knows what to look for.

Find a scope that has a reticle style that you like, and with the features that you want. Don't worry about the brand name on it. All of the brands listed above will suit you well.

I'm coming to the 2500 3k range
I was always told what the rifle cost dbl on the scope. Rifle was 975.00 but I'm willing to spend 3k on a scope.
Because eventually I'm going to get a 5k plus rifle.
So I want something that out preforms me

For what it’s worth, I was able to lob 168 gr match kings into a 55 gallon drum at 975ish yards ( took a few ranging shots) with my DPMS LR308 and a Nikon Prostaff 3x9 on it. “Grouping” was nonexistent , lol, and the holes were everywhere from the top to the bottom and both edges.

And with any used higher end product, get pictures ( with proof that seller is in possession of item) of serial numbers and call the manufacturer to verify it is not made of chinesium.

Most of the higher end optics have lifetime warranties.
