However, the issue is in finding a scope with features appropriate to the platform and cartridge. For instance, you really don't need:
instantly adjustable windage & elevation dials and reticules with hold over markers to multi-hundred yard distances...

You are way to narrow minded. Especially when it comes to competition and what someone needs. Sure, you can give your opinion but "need" is relative. Maybe YOU don't need variable optics or hold over/windage marks, that doesn't mean others don't or would not benefit from them.
As far as competition goes, I have not, as of yet, sold my children or wife for a competitive edge. I can tell you I'm a much better shooter than I was 2 years ago. Shooting while moving, transitioning from one weapon to another, reloading on the move, keeping track of shots fired, etc. These are a few of the things I have improved on while competing in 3 gun and action shooting. I'll also mention the friends I've made and the better shooters who I've learned from.
ETA: NRA High power rifle is shot out to 500-600 yards.
