you know, I must admit and say that I've never shot 3gun before. So I don't know what my input is worth.
So, what are the average target sizes for the further distances of your course? Is it because you can't see the targets with as little magnification? Do you have to range them with a tiny reticle or something, and range estimation is off? Or how are you using your equipment? Do you take the time to actually adjust the scope, or are you trying to rely on the reticle for hold off? How much shooting have you done at these distances, and how consistent are your hand loads?
As for scopes, I would look at something in the realm of a 4 to 14x. I recently got myself the 6-24 PST FFP with the MOA reticle. I am really liking it. I've become fond of Vortex optics. Right now, I am intrigued by the Falcon Menace offerings. I'm really thinking about getting one of those. The question is, the 1.5 to 5, or the 4 to 14? Hmmm, I don't know.
