I JUST GOT MY NEW RIFLE, THE SAVAGE 110 BA IN 338 LAPAU MAG, WHAT SCOPE WOULD BE A BETTER CHOICE THE NIGHTFORCE 5.5-22X 56 OR THE 8-32X-56, WILL THE 8-32X-56 BE OK AT 100 YDS FOR A CLOSE SHOT, I KNOW THE 5.5 -22X-56 WILL DIAL DOWN OK, THANKS

This 30 Mil combo will get me anywhere I can see my target...26mils or 27mils in the scope and the rest in the base. This is a SWFA 10X42HD. It replaced a scope similar to the one you mentioned. I haven't lost a beat. The adjustments are spot on and it is built like a tank. It is very fitting for this rifle I think. Again the Adjustment range is why I chose this setup. I can zero at 100yrds and still go to 2000yrds. A little over 1400 inches of drop on a good calm day. 2200yrds is about the max for this combo though, but being I still haven't found A place in my area that I can stretch it to I have kept it around the 2000yrd mark, its to bad their is only as much energy at that distance as a .44mag.

.338 are you sure about that figure of 1400" drop or was that a type-O?A 116.6' drop is a long way down
Like your great reload set up,man after my own heart,Everything has it's place etc.

100yrd zero as he posted... I haven't fine toothed it this is just a quick calc to make sure I wasn't too far off, how I got the original data was my personal equipment book with the CNC LRB MOD. 245-250
