    Denys, My thoroughness in checking advice comes from all the know it alls on some of these chat boards. I apologize for questioning you. After doing a quick check of your "credentials" you are more than qualified to give an expert opinion and disperse accurate knowledge. 'There are so many...

    Denys, Your advice seems sound and is appreciated. I plan on taking Cait over to a shooters house later today who has both reticles and see what she thinks. Also, I am curious are you a ranked shooter? So seem very knowledgeable. Jimmy

    Roger that. We just got back from the long range match at the Fresno Range where we helped out with targets. A real widny day, 20 mph winds at times. it was fun. Both girls had a great time but were disappointed she was not yet set up to shoot. We also had a change of mind on the scope. one...

    We just ordered a Sightron SIII 10-50x 60 in the LRTD which is fine cross hairs with .125 Dot in center reticle. It was a compromise with the Nightforce CH-2 reticle which is very similar. I think this will be a great learning scope. She got it for $919 total from Cheaper than dirt. She...

    Yah right, you Texans know hot! No question about that. Denys I think you set it right. 10-50 Sightron is what we can afford in the fore mentioned reticle and I think she will be ready to go. I'll post picture of her and her new set up as soon as possible. Again Huge Thank you to all. Cait...

    Thanks Deadshot2, XTR and Denys for your informative remarks. i'm going to have my Daughter Caitlin read this thread which I think will help her make a decision. I'm going to send it to her email account as thats's the way these kids communicate these days. They would rather hear it through a...

    Ya I think I get it. You can always dial down. What is your opinion on the fine cross hair, .125 dot in middle. ???

    The Sightron SIII 8-32x56mm LR TD/TDT 1/8 MOA clicks and 1/8 MOA dot reticle Featuring the new 1/8 MOA click benchrest knobs is what we are considering as of right now. The reticle looks like this.

    We shoot a lot when it is HOT. Central Kalifornia is hot, and the mirage can be awful. So shooters I think must dial down again suggesting a scope that is in the 8-32 range. I just wonder if the folks on the line really use that higher magnification beyond say 32x.

    F T/R Competition My Daughter needs some help with scope choice and reticle type. Newby

    I appreciate your advice. I am leaning toward the lower magnification scope as well for the same reasons. It's probably a good power to learn on,8-32x56. It's hard to explain that to her though when so many are using the higher magnifications. Her eyesight is great and I hope she chooses...

    F T/R Competition My Daughter needs some help with scope choice and reticle type. Newby

    On another note we have questions regarding power. There are the 8-32x56 and the 10-50x60 scopes. Which ones are used most by F class shooters and why. My daughter and i keep arguing about which to get for someone just starting out. I say 8-32 she says 10-50. Neither of us have much...

    XTR Thanks for all this great advice and knowledge. This is pretty confusing stuff for a newbie. It is still several weeks before her Savage 12 arrives so we have time to do our homework. Fine cross hairs, small dot if a dot, hashmarks maybe? She will be shooting 600 as well as 1000. I...

    F T/R Competition ILLUMINATED RETICLE Please illuminate me.

    If you only have a simple cross hair what do you use to make small adjustments without making a bias correction with accuracy? It seems small hash marks would make good sense. Especially for a girl just getting into this.

    F T/R Competition ILLUMINATED RETICLE Please illuminate me.

    Why do they illuminate Reticles and is this a good thing for F class shooting. And my daughter is getting into F class shooting 600-1000 yds and we are so confused as to scope to get. Right now its the Sightron 10 50x60 LRMOA because of cost. Sure could use some advise. Thanks, Jimmy

    My daughter Cait just shot her first 600 yrd FTR competition and she did great. She went home and I helped her order a Savage 12 FTR as this is a great starter rifle as she learns long distance shooting skills. her, and my question is this. She has identified the Sightron SIIISS10-50X60LRTD...
