3P and Field Rifle Scopes; rimfire?

Post by Joffa » 17 Mar 2018, 12:55 pm

What do people use when shooting these comps?

My rifles on the way and I want to put a competitive scope on it.
What do people tend to use or prefer to use for these comps? For both brand, quality and most importantly what magnification?
I’m probably willing to spend around $1500 to go on my Lithgow .22 :D

Most I have seen in Field rifle are using low powered scopes around 6x, I use a 12x fixed Leupold Competition. It takes a lot of practice using both eyes open to get onto the target. With a bit of time it works very well and the extra magnification improves your scores. I tried with a 24x Leupold but found it difficult. You may do better than me with higher magnification. I have only used peep sights in 3P.
