Scope for f class

[garandman]

I am building a 6 dasher for 600 yd and 1000 yd F class type shooting. I've got a nightforce 8 to 32 NXS MOAR-T in the safe ready to mount.

A search of the forum didn't have much more current than 2017 for a scope recommendation.

My main question is do guys in F class shooting use the Christmas tree style reticle or just the hashmarks on the reticle and do they hold off or do they dial for windage specifically?

I believe most will dial for elevation and hold off for windage. Often, the scoring rings are visible and can be used as a reference for the hold. I would be happy using the MOAR-T reticle.

There is no need for a christmas tree type reticle...the MOAR-T is an excellent choice.
You will find that most competitive f class shooters hold off on the target rings. The hash marks can be useful if you need to hold outside of the black.
Good luck!

Sometimes the mirage is so bad that you can't discern the rings in the black. Then the hashmarks pay off.

I use that exact scope on my f-class rig. It has never let me down. Twice when a cloud came over and the mirage stopped i was able to see pasters on the 1000 yard target.

One more thing about my set up. Mine has 1/8 moa clicks so as a result it only has 40 moa of elevation. It also doesn’t has a zero stop. So i put mine in Burris signature XTR rings and used the inserts to zero the windage and added enough extra offset in elevation so i am less than one rev of bottoming out at 100. That gives me 30+ moa of elevation.

just a thought for you regardless of what scope you use. Strategy is still the same

I'd run that scope if I had one. May have to get one for back up.

I been using a MOAR-T for 224 Valkyrie out to 700 yd, using "hold over" for elevation and then trying to use the elevation crosshair hashes for also holding for wind.

So dialing for elevation I could use the horizontal reticle line, and its hashmarks for wind..

Makes sense. Thx.
