El Wray, if long range competition includes any run and gun matches; you are going to want the ability to use lower power settings due to your elevated pulse rate and respiration.
I used 10x fixed power w/1/8 minute target dot ret. for F-class. Then tried a 3.5X15; then a 6.5X20 blueprinted by Premier reticles. Wind and mirage kept me humble far more than lack of glass.
Bottom line; tailor your glass for the game(s) you want to play. IMHO, different games require either compramise or multilple scopes/rifles. Just the ravings of a geezer.
