Hi Everyone,
I am new to this blog and needed some suggestions to which SWFA scope I should purchase for my Savage Arms model 111 .338 Lapua Magnum rifle.

Between 
SWFA 20X42 MILDOT ( budget friendly )
or
SWFA 5-20X50 MMRAD

I don't hurt, mainly purchased the 338 to learning MOA and long range shooting from 300m to 1600m.

5-20X50 IT IS A LITTLE EASIER ON THE EYES AND A LITTLE BETTER BUILT.

Oops sorry for yelling.


I believe you will like the variable better, maybe even look at the new 3-15x...
No one

Of the 2 listed, definitely the 5-20.  I would NOT get a fixed power scope for a 338, the round does too much to be limited by the deficiencies of a fixed 20X.

Personally, I'd go for the 3-15, but that is purely personal preference.
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

Hard to turn away from the 3-15x42 FFP at $699.95.
