    Posted: January/03/2013 at 20:40
I have a savage 110 BA in 338 lapua. I can't decide what scope to put on it. I am considering a night force 5.5x22x56. I can't decide if I should get a FTP or SFP reticle. My budget is 2000. I have no experience with tactical scopes and whatever I get I will have to live with for a very very long time. Any advice is appreciated.

Looking at scopes in that price range, try the SS5-20.  It is the best value in the price range you are considering.

If you could up your budget just over $400 I would go with a Kahles. This is very likely going to be my next scope.

A review on that scope.

I went with the 5.5-22x50, and MOAR reticle, as it had all the features I wanted, with a great reticle, but I wanted a zerostop on this one, so I went the NF route. I have no doubt the SS5-20 would be great. If they were in MOA adjustments, I may have gone that way.
