Leupold Competition series rifle scopes description

Leupold Competition series rifle scopes are, like the name says, designed specifically for competitive shooting like F-Class. These rifle scopes have fixed magnification, and all 3 models come with a 45 mm objective lens diameter.

These three rifle scopes come in 3 different magnification settings, 35 times, 40times, or even 45 times. All rifle scopes have a lockable fast focus eyepiece and capped turrets. Under these caps, there are adjustable target turrets. The erector is held in place with the ˝dual bias erector springs˝ for a secure holding of your adjusted setting. All lens are fully multi-coated for a better picture, more contrast, and clarity.

All 3 models feature also a side parallax adjustment for focusing on your target at any distance. The housing is made from a single piece aluminum for extra strength, it is totally waterproof and filled with argon, so it is also fog proof at low temperatures. The main tube diameter is 30 mm, so many mounting solutions are available.

Definition

Benchrest is a shooting sport where the competitor, seated, shoots from a rest with the rifle positioned on a bench or a table.
It takes place at a shooting range, where rifles are placed in the front and rear rest, hence the name 'bench - rest'.
In this sport, one has to be extremely accurate and precise since the targets are very small.
There are two main types: Full-bore and benchrest 50 (BR50).

Full-Bore

In full-bore, competitors use heavy rifles and riflescopes, whereas in BR50 a weight limit is specified. In BR50, small-caliber rifles (.22 LR) are paired with lightweight riflescopes, commonly with a tube that measures 1 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter.

Light riflescopes

Weaver T36 had been the most popular bench - rest riflescope before the introduction of Sightron SII 36x42 BRD.
The latter has gradually stolen the spotlight of the legendary Weaver riflescope which has been in production for more than 25 years.
These light riflescopes are equipped with a tube that measures 1 inch (25.4 mm) in diameter.
The parallax adjustment is located on the objective (AO – adjustable objective).

AO (adjustable objective) parallax adjustment

Since benchrest competitors shoot at a known distance, the parallax is only set once, at the very beginning of the competition. The difficulty to reach the adjustment ring while in the shooting position is thus an unimportant factor. Having the parallax setting on the objective is handy because it allows the user to set the parallax more precisely (the larger the knob, the more precise the adjustments). Furthermore, manufacturing an adjustable objective is less complex than manufacturing a riflescope with a side focus, which is why AO riflescopes are usually cheaper. It also requires fewer parts, resulting in a lower mass.

Fixed power

When it comes to fixed power riflescopes, Sightron and Weaver are the most popular choices. Other well-known manufacturers of such riflescopes are Leupold, March, and IOR. These riflescopes often feature a 1-inch (25.4mm) tube but a 30mm tube is also used by some manufacturers. Fixed power riflescopes are advantageous over variable magnification riflescopes in certain aspects; they are lighter and optically better for the price.

Fully-featured F-class riflescopes

In benchrest disciplines where mass is not to be considered, shooters opt for a heavier riflescope, usually with a tube diameter of 34 mm and a high maximum magnification. A 10–50x magnification range is a common choice, as well as a thin reticle, and 1/8 MOA clicks for maximum precision. Sightron has the most of the market's share in this category, but certain Kahles, Nikko Stirling, and Hawke riflescopes are also popular.
