That would depend on its intended use. In Precision Rifle, we don't use spotting scopes for Long Range. We do use spotting scopes to spot impacts when shooting steel matches, but that's not the shooter who is on the scope.
If you are shooting F-Class, then a spotting scope is widely used, especially in F-Open or F-TR. (F-Class guys feel free to jump in here to expand and clarify). From what I've seen when I've shot a few F-Class matches, I think I've seen primarily angled scopes. I shoot in the Tactical class, so I just open my bipod, drop the rifle on the deck and shoot, I don't use a spotting scope - but that's just me. If you're scoring at an F-Class match, then you would need to be on a spotting scope. Hope this helps. |

In F-Class, we use high magnification on our rifle scopes. Having a spotting scope for watching mirage and other shooter's targets as they come up and down is beneficial, at least for me anyways.

Here is a picture that gives you an idea of how some scopes are set up next to the guns during a relay.

the wind clinic occurred yesterday. it was a great clinic. just enough wind to make it challenging, but not extreme that it made it hard to coach. we had switches, angle changed and pickups and letoffs. no consistent wind really, which is the best conditools you can ask for in a wind clinic.

Somehow watching a 338 LM getting blown all around at 2k has made me reconsider the need to brush up on my wind reading. Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

140 should resist the wind better 120 will be there faster so less impact of the wind Try both and see what your barrel likes . . .

In F-Class, the 6mm are used primarily for the same reasons, but the consensus is that the 6mm cartridges are just inherently more accurate. In mid-range, the targets are small and in many cases the match winner is determined by the X-count. This means that a gun needs to be consistent in 20+ shots. The primary cartridge is a 6 Dasher or 6x47 lapua for this game. That being said, for long range (600+ yards), smaller calibers have a hard time against the 7mm. The 6.5 mm cartridges have a harder time as well, but can be overcome by shooting a 6.5mm bullet really fast, like in a 6.5x284. The downside is barrel life. Stick with the largest caliber you can shoot with the heaviest bullet and shoot it at a decent speed and you will fair better in the long range game.
