As I clicked for the wind, rather than holding off, I always thought that the mechanics of a scope were more important than the glass. My last purchase for 1k was a Nightforce and am still very happy with it. I used a couple of different Leupolds that served me well and even used a 20X Super Sniper in the State Championship one year when my Leupold was in the shop.
Uncle Gary, what kind of reticle pattern do you prefer? And would it make a difference if you might use the scope for other purposes beyond match shooting?
My personal preference is a fine crosshair with an 1/8 minute dot. No doubt that reticles designed for range finding/estimating would be useful in certain scenarios.
I find them to be too busy for known distance shooting.
