[QUOTE="älg, post: 135683, member: 2995"] Well how far are you going to shoot this running game? if it is in the brush it wont be too far so a ranging/distance estimating reticle may not be needed. For LR, any reticle which is thin enough and using the scope turret adjustments will do. The mildot and similar reticles give you a hand when you need to adjust for elevation ( or even lead) if you cannot make adjustments. The mil dot reticle also uses mils in the sides of the crosshair so it can also be useful for windage/lead estimations. Take a look at the TDS reticle offered by Swaro and others.. it may fit well your needs for nt very long shots ( say under 700 yds). Now I wonder why you want a 338 lapua for shooting in the brush??? it is not a cheap cartridge. Take also a look at the flash dot reciles offered by some european makers (Schmidt Bender hunting scopes), Zeiss has soimething similar under a different name. They can be used for normal shots with no illum. with a classic reticle, and turn th elight on with a red dot for quick shots. [/QUOTE]
