Do look at the IOR tactical. I believe you can get a matched turret for 338 and 50bmg for it.
I have this scope and its a cracker.
Plenty of info on youtube.

Using the 285ELDs with a 100yd zero I need 88moa to get me to 2k

The Bushnel 4.5 -30 with the G2DMR reticle is a great scope. You will lose roughly half the adjustment to zero at 100 thus leaving you with around 45 MOA. a 20moa base on the rifle with a 20 MOA mount and you have a setup capable of 2k (2000yds) the Sightron SIII 6-24 has 100 MOA as opposed to 70 for the 8-32 and 10-50
In my opinion the 6-24 Is the better scope for ELR.

I also have an IOR Terminator and it is superb, better than my PMII's in my opionion.

That gives me a better idea of what I need to look for thankssign
I think I will take the weekend to mull things over then make my choice early next week.

I'm now looking at the IOR 4-28x50 Recon, which is only just over my budget if I take into account the scope rings that are included with the deal.
Do you think the x28 magnification will be adequate for 2000yds?
