I am looking for some advice on possibly the top three BR style scopes under $2,000 possibly?
Nightforce, Sightron....fine reticles, 1/8 moas ?

What do you consider the proper magnification for this type of shooting ? Reticle style ?

Our local club has a 22BR match and the MD varies the distance each month. This month we shot 75 yards and the distances we shoot as well are either 50 or 100 yards. I found Sightron 10-50 scopes ideal for this match. Very clear glass, good choices of reticles and priced well below you target. Check with @lancexxx on this forum for a good deal on one.
I have what they call the MOA-2 reticle in both of mine. I would suggest getting 1/8 minute click turret adjustments.
 
Thanks for the info. I am guessing the thinner the reticle with no Xmas tree holdover is best.
My home range has a covered 100 yard and another club I just started shooting with does a monthly rimfire match at 50 yds for both irons and scopes.

Ditto on the 45x Sightron SIII 45x45 ED with dot!!! I LOVE mine we shoot 50 and 100
Mint one sold here today $800 they keep their value and Work for 22 comp
We have a new Athlon Ares 15-60 on two others--Just amazing scope for under $1000
Really worth a look and can be used on centerfire later for other match work
No matter what you do want the dot IMO
The Sightron also helps if weight is any issue--very light scope
 
Sightron SIII 10-50 x 60 Target Dot. 1/8th adjustments. This is a great scope Great warranty. If Mirage is a issue you can dial the Scope power down. Talk with Lance.

See Sightron July Scope Sale - Lance
the Sale prices are still in place. Call or message LanceXXX on this site for pricing..

I like Sightron scopes for FClass, but honestly the optical quality of my Weaver T36 is superior at 50-100yd even vs the ED models. Maybe it's just my eyes.

I have owned both, I prefer the Sightron over the weaver. The Weaver T36 is a nice scope, only problem i've had with it is not being able to turn down the scope power when mirage is present. I'm not sure they are still in business, which may be a problem if you should need warranty work.
 
Weaver brand is still being made but in South Korea. Their T and XR series are no longer made.
 
Don't overlook the Sightron SIII 36x45 w/.125 TD.
I use one on my 1K BR LG to make weight, been very happy with it.
I think that would be a good choice for your application.
 
The Sightrons are really good as are the older Weavers.

If you can stretch it add the March 48x to your list. I got mine for a little over $2k new. The glass is amazing.

Not sure who is putting on 100y BR comps but smallbore F class does it.
 
There's better glass and lighter scopes out there but overall, it's tough to beat the old NF BR 12-42 model if you can stand the weight. Excellent scope, very acceptable glass and pretty much bullet proof. Proven design, maybe the best in regard to tracking and repeatability. It's a big price jump to go March and their better glass. I'll take the NF BR over the standard fixed March too, fwiw. It's very functional. Yes, there is better glass but it's a heck of a scope and value.
 
I really like my March 10-60x52 you should be able to get one used for the price of the NF BR
