Great thread! Thanks for starting it guero. Please let me know how you like everything when it arrives. I've been hunting/shooting for almost 30 years and have been active duty military for a little over 13 now and still found the thread to be very useful. Oddly enough...despite my profession I know very little about tactical optics and have spent the last few months researching the matter. I'm in the process of building a rifle for F-Class shooting and have decided to go with a SS until I learn the sport. I'm just trying to decide between the 10X and 16X. Shots will be between 600 and 1000 yards so I can't help but think the extra magnification will be useful. I have a close friend, however, that shoots competitively at 1000 yards and he clams a 10X is plenty. Who knows? Maybe I should just flip a coin.

RSbible, I have both the 10x and the 16x and would say if its going to be dedicated to FClass then get the 16X.

I'm not sure it will be "dedicated" to F-Class but that's definitely its intended purpose. I could see shooting it in some tactical events as well and may even do some long range varmint hunting with it. Any way...do you notice any difference in quality? I find it tough to piece together the reviews. As a whole, everything I read is positive but I get the feeling the 16X doesn't fair as well optically as the 10X. If quality is similar I think I'd prefer the higher magnification.
