Thread: Advice for a new scope for my safe Queen...

Was interesting talking to a couple of the competitors last weekend. A couple of them mentioned they never got their scope above about 12x for the medium range shoot (targets from 100m to 600m). Personally I shoot a 6-24x56mm scope and I have mine on about 10x unless in a solid supported prone shot then It gets cranked up to about 18x. Only really use the 24x at the longer ranges where I have a good solid shooting position (i.e. target never leaves the scope under recoil) and I won't have to transition to another target quickly.

So @Gilie can I assume then you're more likely to use a FFP scope rather than guesstimate the hashes and holdovers for the different magnifications? and MOA or Mil?
