[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 204019, member: 8"] Well, I would say that if you go to the 338 AM and want to shoot a mile or more at an animal then the 8-32 X - 56mm is the scope to use. The NP-R1 is a good reticle. At those extreme ranges you just have to have the larger objective and the higher magnification to clearly identify your target and not shoot some spike elk when you only have a cow tag. If you are going to stay under 1500 yards then the 5.5-22X 56 is probably enough. As far as stocks go, while the A-5 by MacMillian or A5L by Joel Russo is probably a more accurate platform, I much prefer the Joel Russo laminated thumbhole. But you have to have a very high cheek weld with the thumbhole and a 56mm scope and that is not good for the really long range stuff. [/QUOTE]
