I use to use a Unertl 16x on my 1,000 yard rifle before changing to a Leupold Vari-X III, 6.5 x 20. The Unertl had a bad detent bearing that I was not aware of and the second owner still has it and uses it on his small bore rifle. He fixed the detent and the Unertl now functions flawlessly.
For my match rifles that I currently use for Midrange, both wear a Leupold Vari-X II, 6x18. I find that for 600 yard shooting, these scopes give me all of the performance that I need.
I am afraid to try a Nighforce because I then may be forced to buy one. At the Regional Midrange match that I shot in yesterday, the scopes in use were just about 50/50 between Nightforce and Leupold.
The second phase is being shot today. Not much room for error with two former national champions on the line and F-Class shooters, like Danny Biggs, who tied a national record, 200-18x, as a grand senior!
Conditions were probably the best that I had ever experienced at my home range at AEDC but, one bad shot dropped me out of contention for any type of a less than first place finish in my class.
