Where to buy a 6 power target new scope for hunter benchrest

Dusty. Up here in New England we have the largest contingent of 6 power competitors. Now there are quite a few people from MD and below that have or are building new 6x rifles. From SC Todd Payseur (WillyTP), Jim Cline, Mike Clayton, Anthony Isner, have at least one. Ronnie Milford from GA has one. From MD Dewey Hancock has one, John Bosley and Jim Hooper are having one each built by Ronnie Long. I'm sure more of the southern guy's will eventually jump on the bandwagon. I'll tell you one thing about them southern guy's they are real go getters. There are some people, ( 2 Mainers in particular) that are complaining about the southern shooters having a big advantage for the SSOY points in VFS. Well nobody does a thing up here to try to recruit new shooters or find new ranges to shoot at. Jim Cline and Ronnie Milford are the driving force down south. They have recruited a number of new shooters, added a number of new ranges , and added a number of new shoots to the IBS schedule. They average 38 shooters per match compared to 18 up here. We couldn't get 38 shooters up here if they had free beer and hookers. Hats off to Cline and Milford.
Thats excellent. I love to see new guys getting into it. Ive shot my share of vfs but never any hbr.

Me either. Dave Apple that use to live in MD and Charlie Brock that use to shoot 3 guns up here were constantly hounding me to shoot 6 power. Both those guys said it was way more satisfying shooting a 6 power rifle than a VFS I just can't get into it.
 
Thank you guys for the good info everyone! I think I will just try shooting hv lol got some scopes for that :)
Just getting into this never done it before and don't know what I doing lol but sounds like fun!

If theres hbr being shot near you go attend a match and find a scope there. I bet somebody there has some stuck back
 
I see all the good 6 power fixed fine cross hair scopes that are needed for hunter benchrest are not being made anymore I don't want to get a used scope or is this what everyone else is doing;)

Your best option is to watch eBay and classifieds ads here on this wonderful site and over at BRC. Once you find one, send it to Cheryl Ackerman at target shooters optics and have her go through it, clean it up and she build you the kind of reticle needed for HBR. Heck, post a WTB ad here, I’ve had success several times finding them here for myself and other. Stick with the build, you’ll love it.
 
If you had ever looked through a 6 power hunter benchrest scope you would understand. The HBR scopes are so perfect and clear that you can see more through one than on a 3/9 on 9 power. By all means get the scope designed for the class even if used. I looked through a sightron and expected it not to be quality boy was I mistaken. It was Pete Wass'scope when he was on winter vacation at Jon Newman's range
