I use & like 1.5-6x42mm on my 338 and a few other rifles. This is my all-around power range. All dictated by the intended game and terrain.
Though for my personal hunting, very little game/terrain/distance would I feel under or over-scoped for. I am not opposed to higher or lower power, larger or smaller objectives have them and use them. Depends on the "intended / expected" circumstances.
The 2-8 power range should cover lots of circumstances. I do like the 42mm objectives in above 4 power, but eyes and what is pleasing to those eyes do differ.

Hello! I just purchased a Sako AV in 338 Win Mag and I was looking for opinions on a good optic for it. It will be primarily used for elk, and if I ever get on a moose or bear hunt, for that as well. I have a VX3 in 2.5-8x36, I was thinking of putting on it, but was wondering what folks on the fire thought. Any feedback or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!
