[QUOTE="Broz, post: 616241, member: 7503"] I am going to say the 5.5~22. I started with the 5.5~ 22 on my 338 LM and then after a year or two switched to a 8~32. Not to long after I switched back to the 5.5~22 for these reasons. With the 32 x I lost 35 moa of dial up. That 338 edge of yours with 300 gr bullets will get you out to where the 100 moa of the 5.5~22 is needed. The other thing is, most days I was cranking the 32 x down as the mirage would not allow the use of the extra powder. Also field of view and eye relief in a bit touchy on the 32X. I tend to leave my scopes turned up and getting on target with the 32 x was a bit of a task. On the good shooting days when I could use the 32X I did shoot some great groups at 1000 yards and beyond, but that was not worth the trade off for my uses. Hope this helps you to decide. You will have no issues shooting to well past a mile with the 5.5~22 so that would be my suggestion. Jeff [/QUOTE]
