What sort of scope/reticule would you recommend for someone taking this class?

 

[Zak Smith]

You need a scope that has some workable method to specify drop and wind compensation. The ideal scope would have external knobs (tactical/target style) and a mil-style reticle.

I'd love to attend. Looks like I will be out of the country on business that week.

If anyone wants to sneak into this class at the last minute (it's next weekend), we do have a spot or two available.

This class went extremely well, and our shooters saw great improvements over the course of the weekend. The majority of the students shot at least 40 in the match on Sunday. Although this isn't an ELR course, we had a lot of students hit targets at 1100+ yards, with the furthest at 1680. The emphasis of PFR2 is hitting long-range targets from field positions, including a lot of non-prone shooting. So we ran the course in the back country:
