[QUOTE="jvspopeye, post: 1855868, member: 109640"] Well I finally got the call that my Ruger Guide gun had arrived. I decided to go with the .338 Win Mag. Now I am looking for a scope to put on. I was discouraged a bit when I was looking for scopes and some vendors were telling me that with a 20' barrel I wont be shooting more than a 200 to maybe 300 yds with accuracy. I bought the gun to be an all round rifle for the game I shoot from deer up (Moose Elk and Black Bear). I know its a big heavy for whitetail deer but covers anything else around here heavier...My question is this: 1. How far do you think I can shoot game accurately with this gun? 2. What scope do you recommend? (shots anywhere from 50 - 400 yds max) 3. Can anyone tell me what ammo this gun likes for accuracy? (I know most of my Brownings like Winchester, so curious about this gun). 4. Has anyone shot Whitetail with this gun? I heard Barnes 168 gr TSX or LRX are good rounds with minimal damage...?? I cant wait to get a scope on it and try it out! Any advice is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
