The reticle is pretty fine. I used it for a bench shoot and it works well. Clarity starts going away after 45 power. I'm not sure how it will be for field target, but met a lady that uses it and likes it.

I sent LW an email asking them if they build a 17" choked, I can only find the 24" on their site. I am a Gunsmith and build long range hunting rifles. I might be able to make these available, I have a CNC lathe guy that could pop these things right out.

Is the barrel a Loth/Walther .20 cal, choked, 17.7twist, 24.21" length, .62 OD?

Yes, sorry to confuse, you are correct, I am talking magnification only... Thank you

The way the rules are stated, you should be able to do whatever you want with the scope just do not exceed 16X at any time. You may want to use a lower power at some time, which I believe is legal. The rules do not say you cannot adjust your scope, just states max power is 16. Again, they...

Thank you.....

Thanks everyone.. AAFTA clarified it. Maximum 16x "at any time" as they put it.

I sent a question to AAFTA for clarification.

This is off of the AAFTA sight for Hunter class. Optical sights of any reticle style may be used but are limited to a maximum of 16 power magnification. Variable scopes of greater than 16X must be turned to the 16X or nearest lower factory marking on the scope. They could clarify this a bit...

I am new to Hunter field target and putting together a set up. I see you are allowed a maximum of 16 power when you shoot. You can use as much magnification as you want for ranging, then reset the magnification before you shoot. Is a higher power scope better for ranging purposes? I have a...

Looking to put together a field target setup. Appreciate any opinions on these two guns and their accuracy. Both are in the same price range. Thanks...

ya, AoA had it in stock....

I actually just had one delivered yesterday. Will have it mounted to my gun and give it a try next week. Reticle looks very fine, hopefully it won't be a problem.....

Anyone ever own both? There's a lot of information and they seem very similar. Is the $300 difference in price worth it?

I'm new to the benchrest world. I'm looking for at least 10-50 power, from the Athlon Ares ETR UHD 15-60 ($1100) Sightron SIII, $1400, Kahles, NF, March ($3300). Want to buy once and not afraid to spend for the right scope, but also not looking to waste money if not necessary. If you've got...
