Quick Answer
For PRS-style competitions with a 6x47 Lapua, top optics choices include the Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56, the Horus Vision X-Tac 5-25x56, or the Leupold Mark 6 3-18x44.
Choosing the Right Magnification
When it comes to optics for the 6x47 Lapua, it’s essential to balance magnification with practicality. For PRS-style competitions, a variable power scope is ideal, allowing you to adapt to varying distances and scenarios. In this case, a 3-18x44 or 5-25x56 scope is suitable, providing an adequate zoom range for most situations.
Reticle and Turrets
A high-quality reticle and turret system are crucial for accurate shooting. For the 6x47 Lapua, a reticle with a 1/4 MOA or 1/8 MOA subtension is recommended. The Nightforce ATACR and Horus Vision X-Tac both offer this level of precision. Additionally, consider a scope with an adjustable parallax and a locking turret system to prevent accidental adjustments.
Illumination and Night Vision
For PRS-style competitions, a scope with reliable illumination is vital, especially in low-light conditions. Look for a scope with a high-quality LED or fiber-optic illumination system. The Leupold Mark 6 features a Mark 4 30/30 reticle with a built-in illumination system, making it an excellent choice for PRS competitions. Additionally, consider a scope with a night vision capability, such as the Nightforce ATACR, which allows you to adapt to varying light conditions.
