    Mine is a T50 503, 10-50 x60 the old model and its only limitation is me...it works really well.
    I dont compete, only with myself
    The new X50 is supposedly better in some ways, but not at nearly 3x as much as i paid for my T50 s/h....wouldnt
    mind a look at one though to see what i make of them as their s/h prices are looking better these days.

    Have a look at Konus scopes.
    Seriously underated optics, especially the FFP models.

    If you're seriously interested in Benchrest shooting, then you really don't need a FFP scope, as the reticle will be far too big/thick to be of any use.

    2nd focal plane with 1/8th clicks is the way you need to be going. Preferably with a fine reticle and a centre dot.

    Just finishing up a 22rf build for BR & LR (hopefully not multi-purpose / multi-useless? ), will be fitting a SFP March High Master scope , 1/8 moa 'clicks' with a floating dot.

    Overall idea being a 22rf clone of an existing 6mm Dasher rifle.

    FFP on a pure target orientated rifle is not normally a combination you see but a .05mil/click (sort of 1/6 moa) high magnification FFP with a floating do would actually work well?

    I have a Leupold Competition x45 on my BR rig, some guys at my club are shooting March and NF, i haven't looked through any of them and felt the need to change.
    The Leupolds are maybe a bit old fashioned now compared to newer offerings but all the better for it IMO and can be picked up for sensible money.
    I have a Weaver T36 on my LWSR, its a bit dark and for me the mag is a little on the low side for BR but a few guys at the club use them for BR and rate them.
    We did have a few using Sightron but all have moved them on after various problems.
