I like the Hawke half mil dot for HFT Jess.I really like the 6.5-20 or 8.5-25 Sidewinders. Reticle is super thin and the half mil dots are great for hold overs.I zero at 30 yards so I have no hold unders from 10 - 55 yards.
You sure can Jess!!Just keep it at 12 mag.

I am the type person that would prefer to use a 3-12 scope so my honesty does not come to question. I am not doing this for any reason except for enjoyment. It is not the score I make against others but the score I make against myself. With that being said I will never enter a contest with big money to the winner (and as a side note: I can not afford the entry fee). LOL

Jesse,These guys are correct in that in current rules you can use any scope as long as it is set at 12x or less for Hunter Class. Also they are correct that there is a current bylaw being voted on at Nationals (first weekend of October) that, if passed, will not allow the use of scopes that will adjust beyond 12x (meaning 12x max) for Hunter Class. Sounds like you have already ordered a 12x max scope and you are covered. You shot very,very well on Saturday though you did not finish the match. You were easily in PCP territory with your springer. Loose the monopod and get a bipod and you will go far.Craig

I have targets set up from 20 to 90 yards. That might be the reason I did as good as I did. They made an exception for me using a gun that cost more than $300 in the fun shoot. He said if I had finished he would have thrown my score out. I had such a good time it would not have mattered. Next match I now have the confidence to do FT springer, My R11 was shooting so good last time I put away my TX200 & HW97K.

I do not think I can use my 8-32X56 just adjusted down to 12.
