The guys in the CMP Custom Shop did not have a lot to say good or bad about the CMP 2.5 power, just that more power was better. They did have one mounted and out for handling in the shop, it seemed OK for the glassing around the corners of the shop. My impression from listening, they were not really a fan of the 2.5 scope for match use, and leaned towards a higher power for a match gun.

This is a lift from the first CMP Sniper Match rule book for vintage "legal" sniper match scopes, don't know if it has changed:
