Great point on the glass. Vital piece of equipment to shoot 1000+ yards.

338 Lapua magnum is a lot of gun. Shooting a big boomer like that can wear on you after a lot of shooting. But if that's the way you go the Savage will probably be the best bang for the buck. 300 win mag with the right loads would be a good choice, as would a 6.5 PRC.
