[QUOTE="Guest, post: 18663"] Good advice from everyone. Field of view is not too bad at 4 or 4.5X, but I agree that something less than 4X would be ideal for bear. Here is the rub, I do want to be able to "range" deer and elk with the reticle, so I was considering a Leupold 4.5-14 with a German #4 reticle (3 large posts and a simple vertical crosshair). I could get the same scope in MILdot, but I did not know if the Mildot spacing would come anywhere near the mediocre trajectory of the .338 Win Mag. I have never used MILdot. 1. Is it extremely difficult to master? 2. Would it be any good with .338 Win Mag? 3. Do the dots obscure the target (let's say a whitetail) at long range? I also like Burris scopes and considered the Nikon Monarch, but found for my eyes that the Leupold Vari-X III is sharper resolution. Thanks everyone. May your groups be small and your exit holes large. [/QUOTE]
