so I am finishing up 338 edge for 2000 yard TARGET shooting.
the scope I have been looking at is the 7-35x nf.
it allows close up and extreme long range shooting with its 100 MOA built in adjustment.
BUT
what other scopes fit the bill?
reasonable magnification and the ability to crank from
100 to 2000 yards ?
( I did not put this in optics because it is a elr specific question)

I have a 5-25 and a 7-35 and really like them.

Why the 7-35 over a 5-25? Very rarely will you use 35x unless your spotting tiny things or trying to gauge mirage. A 5-25 is a much better all around mag range. I have mk5hd in 5-25, 7-35, as well as an atacr 5-25x56. I rarely ever use the top end of the 7-35.
 
I have shot my 338 Edge to 3027 yards with a Vortex gen 1 Razor 5 x 20 x 50 with no issues. Will repeat again when Spring bear season ends here .

Schmidt & Bender PMII 5-45x56 High Power. 27 MIL or 66 MOA. Doubt you will need too much more than that with a 300 gr Berger @ 2850fps. 30MOA rail, zero for 300, good to go. 67.4 MOA @ 2000. Get a 40MOA rail, move zero to 400 or so, and you are there. 66MOA.

Great reticles too. MSR2, LRR-MIL, GR2ID, TRMR3.

1st gen ATACR 5x25x56. They advertised 120 moa elevation but all eight that I owned had 132moa elevation. Zeroed at 200yards using a 20moa rail, they had about 80 moa elevation remaining. Swarovski X5i 3.5x18x50 advertised 116 moa elevation. Zeroed at 200 yards on the same guns with the same 20 moa rail they had about the same 80 moa remaining adjustment.
 
need about 75 from 100 to 2000
I have a 20 moa built in.
I do not want to be at the top which is why I look a 100 moa scopes.
see my last post.
