Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Competitive Shooting Scopes - What Scope(s) are you using?

For 1000yd BR started with a 36 Weaver. Actually a very reliable scope I still have it and use it testing new rifles

12X42NF BR for 1000yd LT. gun

5.5 X 22 BR for 1000yd HG

60X March for short range score shooting and 600 yd BR

All great scopes.

Both NF scopes really got a workout as my son shared them in 1000y matches by shooting a different relay. Lotsa "clicking" never a problem.

I shoot F-TR Long Range with a custom bolt .308 Win. I currently use a March-X 5-50X56 with an MTR-5 reticle. The March-X replaced a Nightforce NXS 12-42-56 w/ NP2DD reticle because it has better glass to my eye at the same magnification. Also, the Nightforce is a porker and I saved a half-pound of weight which I placed in the barrel for better performance.

I've had the March for 5+ years and it's seen about 20,000 rounds go downrange. The scope is solid, the glass is great and the controls are reliable and repeatable.

I kept the NXS because it is a decent scope and repurposed it on another rifle. It will shortly be going on top of my .223 F-TR rifle.

use the mounstrum 2nd and 3rd lr with fp 8-32x50 and 6-24x50

I've won several factory sporter class local club groundhog matches with a Sightron SIII 8X32X56 ran at the 24x limit on my Tikka .223 superlite. Shots were @ 1,2, and 300 yds. The custom guys shoot out to 400yds , and are mostly using Nightforce with a March or Valdada sprinkled in here and there.

Nikon X1000 6-24x X 50mm. Have three of them, love em. It's a shame they're discontinued as these scopes are a great value.

Guess I`m in the minority, run a straight 12 Mil SWFA. on my comp rifle. Any "problems" have been caused by me, not the scope.
