hi just nead to no will a bushnell tactal elite 6x24x50 be good for range Front Focal Plane Mildot Reticle 50mm Objective 30mm main tube Green llumination 10 levels Exposed Tarrents 0.1m4radclicks FULLY Multy coated optices Eye REliefe 4 inch Exit pupil:7.5@6x12.1@24x Elevation 19.1mrad Windage 12.9mrad Fov@100y :17.5@6x2.1@24x I thinks thats it dont no what mrad is or what you nead for range this is very hard to work out for me thanks

The milliradians adjustment is military & seldom understood by the rest of us. Apart from that, Bushnell doesn't have a big following in local F class circles.

Hi, don't get bogged down in all the technical stuff, if you already have the scope then it will be ok. If you are looking a getting a scope then I would suggest an 8-32, maybe a Sightron. You don't need gimmicks like illuminated recticles, what you do need is a 30mm tube, good target type turrets (knobs), good range of adjustment for elevation and windage ie about 60 moa. I personally like uncluttered reticles ie fine crosshair and a target dot others prefer mil dots.

Also check out what others are using at your local range.

Hi thanks for the info,I will have a look at the scopes others are using...
I still like bushnell [for the money side of things]...

A milradian is 10cm in 100m such that each (0.1mil) click represents 1cm per 100m. For F class even a 1/4 moa scope has just over 7mm per click and the 1/8 moa is about 3.5mm per 100m per click. You will find the finer adjustement of the 1/8 clicks very handy in fclass shooting for vertical adjustment. Some Milradian scopes come out with 0.05 Mils per click (5mm per 100m) and are quite good. Most range talk and elevation charts will be presented in moa though so it could work out quite confusing for you if trying to get help on the range.

Stewart,

I know you're thinking about a Savage 12F/TR in 308. Here's one for sale with a quality scope on it : http://ozfclass.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=3923.

You could PM Quinny and make an offer if you're interested. Only thing against it might be the Mildot reticle. But Mildots are less cluttered than some you see.

If you want a good quality scope for little outlay (well compared to some other brands) look at the Sightron SIII series of scopes. There are some target models with 1/8 click adjustments.
