Leupold Competition : How great are the difference on the Rangefinding between the 35x and 40x Version ? Is the Duplex or Target Dot Reticle better ?

There is no duplex, target dot or extremely fine cross hair is all that is on offer. If you can get hold of a Premier Reticle version then that is the best option by far.
The 45x is the best range finding scope by far, next is the 40x and bringing up the rear is the 35x but that is still a better range finder than most other scopes.
Just to clarify my position, I am currently using a Nightforce 12-42x56 for FT and it range finds comparably with the 40 mag Comp.

close range adaptor

Do you need one on a Leup Comp?

[mikewills8904]

the 40 mag one i looked through needed one and focused down to 7yards

Mike, looking through some old posts on here it's reckoned by some owners they can be re-parallaxed (by winding out the front lens?) to go from 9-60 yards.

not sure if i like the idea of altering scopes tends to put people of you you go to sell

Mine was altered by Premier Rets and will cover from 9 yards out to around 65 yards (its a 35 mag). Its an easy enough job to do and well worth the effort. I hate having those floppy close focus adaptors on scopes.
