[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 419838, member: 2215"] For long range deer size game to moose I prefer to use a 338 caliber, such as the 338 Lapua, 338-300 Ultra Mag, 338 - 416 Rigby and 338 - 408 Chey-Tac. Although smaller calibers will work 338's have tremendous knock down power out to a mile or more. Magnification is dependent on how far your shooting ranges will be. 22x - 25x is fine for just about anything but as you get out towards 1500 yards or more it's nice to have just a little more to verify your holding right where you want to be, you can always back it down in power if the conditions aren't favorable for 32x. I've used the Swarovski 1500 for 7 years now it has worked perfectly for me. On a good overcast day that's cold and clear and a dark target like a pine tree I've gotten readings to 1900 yards, but have had no problem getting consistent reading out to 1200 - 1500 on an any condition day.
