sniper class notes. If you need an expert, consult any gun forum, they all

Choosing the best target rifle scope for 1,000 yard competitions
requires these features:
- A 20x magnification
- Tall target turrets
- Side Focus
- 40 mm objective
The scope ,must have no greater than a 40mm objective (to mount
low and not lose "cheek weld") plus a side focus (parallax).
Leupold VX-III
6.5-20x40 LR 30mm with Target Turrets and Side Focus (model 55146).
Unfortunately, they no longer makes this model and you need to find a
used Leupold scope:
- Leupold VX-III 6.5-20x40 LR 30mm with Target Turrets and Side
Focus (model 55146).
- Leupold VX-III 6.5-20x40 (model 51426).
This is yhe correct used model to find:
If you cannot find this scope, the only other option is to buy a
16x40mm Leupold and send it to an optics expert to be "bumped" to 20x
power.
EFR stands for "Extended Focus Range".
