    Scope for F-Class and a bit of everything else

    Looking for a decent big scope as I am planning to get into F-class shooting and also want to use it for a bit of general long range stuff - hares, etc. If I buy new I can probably stretch the budget to $1000 -1500. A few things I am pondering

    Magnification
    6-24 would be heaps I would think. I know a few of the F-class guys shoot with up to 50-60x magnification but I want something a bit more general purpose at this stage

    Turrets:
    Probably better off with 1/4 MOA turrets than 0.1 Mil?

    Reticle
    MOA hash reticle would be useful - ie. dial for elevation and hold for wind using the hash marks. If you go that way that narrows the choices down to those scopes with an FFP reticle.
    Target dot - dial for elevation and dial or hold for wind?

    Which Scope?
    Suggestions? I have looked at the Sightron SIII with target dot reticle and the FFP one with MOA hash reticle, Leupold VX3 8.5-25x50 with target dot.
