Extreme long range scope suggestions

[Robocop1051]

Up to 2000 yards.

Variable.

First focal plane.

Mil dot.

and..... Go!

 

Please don't kill my wallet. I have three kids to feed.... and a wife who can only tolerate my nonsense so much.

.338 Lapua Magnum (semiauto)

I would ask what are you going to be shooting at, and with?

If you are going to be shooting at someone that may be shooting back then I would go BIG and expensive both with the rifle,mounts and glass. Or if it is long range trophy big game. I would not spend as much for tools spend more on the trip.

If it is non-competition  paper punching I go kind of inexpensive,  And when I was working full time keeping food in my family of four rug rats a wife and myselves bellies and a roof over our heads and in order to keep shooting. I went bargain basement and did a lot of trading up.

On the lower end of price;

Up the scale a bit on price;

Both have the same no questions asked warranty as Vortex so if that 338 Lapua recoil would cause an issue you are covered.

[Robocop1051]

So right now I'm leaning towards a Leupold Mk8 8-32x... the problem is the +$3000 price tag

this is purpose built for targets of the "warm two-legged" variety.

Kahles K624i.

I don't think they make FFP.

I stand corrected....

ATACR 7-35x56 F1 may be a winner!

maybe the B.E.A.S.T. if I drop down in magnification a little bit. 

[Robocop1051]

The more I read, the more I like the ATACR F1. 

 

[edgecrusher]

Glad to be of service 

[Robocop1051]

Now I want the 4-16x F1 and 8-32x F1... damn it.

U goin' rogue on us Robo? 

I'm callin' BS on this. No way LE would take a shot at a perp from those distances. Not even 1000yds. Plus, at those higher magnifications your field of view is miniscule. Any movement of said perp would be near impossible to track. I think he's just tellin' the misses his new range toy is for work so she doesn't throw a fit! 

[Robocop1051]

No. I have a contract bid to a foreign (allied) military. 

Nothing LE here, and there are specific qualifications required.

FYI ... Optics Planet is running a Memorial Day sale of 10% off through next week.  Lots of scopes appear to be featured but I think the discount is across the board.

That was my first thought, honestly. My buddy can't find work and he's a trained military sniper. He's thinking of going that route. Be safe.

Costco is hiring I hear.

I am guessing you might be geographically close. Good luck Rob.

The Kahles K624i has amazing scope clarity but expensive also.
