Enjoyed being at Reese Bottom in February. It’s been almost 30 years since I shot in a competitive match. I have a rifle coming and have been pulling together components to set up for the FTR class. I noticed that Nightforce and Sightron scopes seem to be the most popular. Looking at a SIII Sightron but not sure about which power would be appropriate. the 6x32x56 or the 10x50x60. Any pros or cons? About the “new shooter” , when I started shooting for the team back then you were considered “new” until you had been burned at a National level match. You had to have a certain number of “new” shooters for a team to compete at a national level match like the nationals at Camp Perry, Ohio. After that you were considered “old”.

Michael, both scopes that you mention will work. I own both brands, and will say that both will work. I have two of the NF 12-42 BR scopes, and they are my favorites.
I have learned that that the only way to “buy” points is via practice and experience. If your budget allows you choices; get the best proven equipment that you can. If not, then opt to spend what you have on practice.

Michael, welcome to the forum and we all look forward to you shooting with us at Reese Bottom. You need to get after those F Open boys and leave us F-T-R’s alone. lol Sounds to me like you have shot in matches that all of us have only read about. My two cents on the scope question. Sightron has the reputation of being the best scope for the money. I would think a person could buy a Sightron for 1/2 to 2/3 of what a similar Nightforce would cost. Not knocking either scope, just talking money. Before making a final decision, I would suggest that you give some thought to the reticle and clicks per moa. I have grown fond of 8 clicks per moa type scopes but the 4 clicks will definitely work. Good luck with the decision and hope to see you again at Reese Bottom. WWE
