And to think; I blamed it on drinking a cup of coffee before I started shooting |

Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.

I have always wanted "God"glass but always had to settle for really good for the price!
The run away favorite that I have seen at prs matches has been the gen 2 razor from Vortex. This is both because of the support Vortex gives the shooting community, and because they are really good optics. Usually it's pretty even numbers of the tier one optics after them. My match rifle wears an SS 5-20 and I have shot a few local matches with a SS 3-15. Both did great, the better color rendition, and better contrast of the 5-20 does help dig out targets though. I have looked through a bunch of different scopes and to this day the only one that made say "holy sh*t, that's nice"without remembering the price tag was the Hendsolt 4-16x50. Those are cool! |

If it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

Wish I could get the razor gen 2, but out of accepted price range. I am trying to slip in a couple of local matches before laying out the coin. Merely in hopefully aquiring some much needed observation and some possible looking through folks different scopes to see for myself, what my eyes tell me.
Thanks to all who have seen their way into this topic and have offered so much information. I believe the wider field of view is something I need to pursue regardless.

Knorseman, it sounds like you have a local group that puts on these matches. I would suggest contacting them, Facebook is awesome for this, and find out when there practice days are. Most are extremely helpful to the new shooter, but at a match,points ate probably on the line.

bigredhemi; Thanks for the uplinks. The Anthlon Cronus looks to be a serious contender. This will have all of the scope manufacturers doing the "Scoobee Do" reverb in a short order. Thanks!

Thank-you billburl2; yes there is a group here in Yakima that sponsors a few matches a year. I will be trying to get in their next match I believe around the 10th of June. Weekends seem to be a tough swing for me in the summer months. Work in Issaquah during the week and now paving season is here, most likely Saturdys as well. Trying to only bite off as much as I can chew at any one given time. Thanks!

I have shot a few of the PRS matches and a few PRS style matches. Here are my observations from my experience. I have never shot a match above 15x or so. I have several March scopes in the 3-24 varieties, as well as a SS 5-20, SS 3-15, Kahles 3-12, Z6 2.5-15 (not a match scope unless you are into holdover). If you are in a match that you have to spot your misses, I have found that lower power is better. I personally would find the best scope that tops out around 15x and run with it.
Last match I shot with the Kahles on a 22-250. Shot the match at 12x and never really wanted more even at 1000 yards. Again, just my opinion. I myself would like to sell off both march scopes and get one Premeir 3-15 and a Kahles 6-24

I wouldn't get the Kahles 6-24, but agree on all else.

PRS production division puts a hard cap on the MSRP price of a scope. Key word being MSRP as based on the manufacturer website. The gen 2 Razor has an MSRP of $3500. T5xi at $2300. Etc. How much you can actually buy the scope for has no bearing for the competition rules. Really the only scope listed that actually qualifies is the SWFA 5-20.
