Not speaking as an organizer for the match, but 4x is going to be really tough. We had shots out to 500 on 10" plates last time.[/quote]
I agree it's not ideal but if it came down to not shooting and shooting with the 4x Leupy I'd shoot with the 4x. No big deal, unless I can convince Home6 that I need to buy another scope within the next week or so I'll just run the .308. I just got the Noveske and really want to see what it can do. I really like the 1.25x4 VXR by the way, it's a neat little optic. I might dedicate it to use on my FAL when I get something new for the SPR.
I've qualified with an ACOG wearing M4 twice and the 500 yard line was the least of my concerns. The 200 yard standing, always a little rough, is even worse with an optic. One year I cleaned the 500 with an ACOG and the next year I dropped one point. Granted, the target is 20" wide and 40" tall but that was with a 14.5" barrel, issue ammo, and no bipod. It would be fun to see what I could do at 500 with that stainless Noveske barrel and some handloads with 77 gr SMKs from a bipod.
