Best Scope for 100-300 Benchrest on a 6ppc?

Dusty
If I may ask " 36x42 Vadada has a 1.16 exit pupil, how long did it take to get use to that size ?
Jim

I go from weavers to nightforces, leupolds to marches and have never even given a thought to exit pupil. I can see with the valdada as good or better than any scope short of a nf comp
 
Must be my glasses,
I struggle with smaller exit pupil.
Thx
Jim
That may be due to the rings, base, stock combo. When you get behind the gun, everything should line right up. If you have to hunt for the picture through the scope, then the scope isn't in the right place.

That said, it could also be a sign that your hold and position isn't consistent. I do agree small exit pupil is difficult. I sold my 45x leupold because of it. My vortex GE is much easier by comparison.
 
Daydreaming about buying a new scope for my 6ppc that presently has a Leupold 36x. Just wondering what the best options are with the pros and cons.

I see that the the Leupold 45x is very popular. Sightron has recently released a new 45x scope as well.

March has recently released a new 48x52 “Highmaster”. They also have a 50x52 that is still available on the shelves.

What is the best option?

Thanks

Of all the scopes I have or have had over the last 20+ yrs of both short and long benchrest, the only 2 I have never returned to the factory for service or repair are my 40 and 45 Leupold Competitions. Just saying.......I am sure your aware most bad groups are a result of scope failure,
 
I have returned several NF's and Leupold Comps for repair, but never had a problem with several Weaver 36's or my March 10-42

Nightforce COMP Fixed 42X or the new (Totally redesigned) March Highmaster 48X
Would not buy the old March as they changed the design for a reason.
 
Dusty, Bart & Co -
I have a Valdada 36X that I picked up from Bart (he actually took it off of his rifle for me!). My only nit to pick is the ocular lens/ bell. Mine is the older/ larger/ heavier one. It barely clears my Panda bolt handle (in high Burris rings with the plastic insert things - name escapes me), and I seem to get a lot of reflection in the ocular lens. Unless shaded, I can get distracted by things around and behind me. Have you guys noticed this/ do you see it with the newer design? Otherwise, it's a superb tool for short range BR, IMO. Solid clicks, solid POA hold, very nice glass, good reticle...
