Thread: Scope for F-Class and a bit of everything else

Sightron S3 6-24x50 or 8-32x56. Well worth considering, around $1500, our club just got a Sightron to replace the nikko as it was getting dodgy in its turrets (no longer clicking). For $1500 of course there are some good choices. I wouldnt personally go any higher, I'd spend the money on a better gun/barrel or action. eg A barnard action is around $1600 and one of the best made rather than say $3.5k on a Nforce slapped on a remmington 700 with a 24inch factory barrel which just looks naff.

Just some things to consider with F class, a barrel will be about 700~1000 rounds before needing replacing at $1000 a pop. FTR class on the other hand which is limited to 308winchester, 4000 maybe 5000 rounds, so 1 to 1.5 barrels per season v 3 ~ 5 seasons, big difference in costs. Brass life is a lot better with 308w as well. I would suggest a Krieger barrel and Barnard combo would be worth considering as a very competitive combo. Stocks well $800 to $4.5k.
