Burris has one that is very good and if you can learn how to use it, the standard eliptical mil-dot's on a leaupold is best. I believe the term for my burris on my .300 win mag mauser is called a RAC which I have used with very good success. I have used mine since mid-80's on the .300 but they have one for the .338 also. I have hunted from Alaska to New Mexico with my custom mauser which Beretta shamelessly copied and called a MATO. I use Warne Maxima bases and QD lever rings as I have iron sights left on my rifle if I had ever dropped or broken the scope during a hunt I could press on and harvest my food.

Click on the RAC link above and look for yourself. Solid reliable and Burris is second to none for durability, wear, accuracy and that all important .......price !

I have a dakota longbow rifle in .338 lapua that has the 16X fixed Leaupold ultra with mil-dots and use it for extream range coyotes and such. If you understand or can learn the use of a mildot then that would be a solid type of ranging system to look into. Key with any mildot/RAC scope is find a load either custom or factory and stick to it. If you swap around your wasting your time with a RAC system of any type in your scope.

Hope I helped, stay safe, enjoy your game you harvest.
