12x is plenty innit?
Had you tried parallaxing it at 25 yds?
I am researching a new target scope for 25 yard benchrest. At the moment I am using a Leupold fixed 36X which is excellent but am wondering about getting a variable from about 10X upwards as I may change rifles soon. The problem is getting a high magnification scope that will focus at 25 yards. I tried the big Hawke 10 - 50X but the highest that it will focus at 25 yards was only about 12X. Any suggestions for a suitable scope?

I use a big Hawke set to 50x for 25m benchrest without any problem.

There must have been an issue with your Hawke 10-50 as I've had one and they parallax down to 10y no problem, as do:
Sightron SIII, Big Nikko, Falcon T50/X50 to name but a few, and they can all be used for BR at 25y. Currently I'm using a Delta 5-50 and it to goes down to 10yards.
Basically any scope you see in FT will be suitable for what you have said

+1 on the above especially the sightron & delta Stryker

the delta Stryker has got to be right up there, brilliant scope
