[QUOTE="Westcoaster, post: 875159, member: 13554"] I've had both scopes on my 338wm which I regularly shoot to 500 yards. They are both excellent scopes and you can't go wrong either way. A few of things to consider: [LIST=1] [*]Is this a hunting rig that you are going to carry? If it is I would strongly recommend the 2.5-10x42. The 3.5-15x50 while a wonderful scope is heavy (2lbs) and bulky. I do carry mine a lot and I found the bulkiness an issue. [*]Is this going to be a bench/stand rifle? If yes then get the 3.5-15. The low light capability of the 50mm bell is very good. There is a huge difference between this scope and the garden variety scopes. [*]I did not find the magnification difference between the two when shooting to 500 yards significant. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
