Quick Answer
Yes, specialized scopes are available for 6x47 Lapua in PRS events, often designed for precise long-range shooting.
Specialized Scopes for 6x47 Lapua
In PRS events, precision and accuracy are paramount. A scope specifically designed for the 6x47 Lapua cartridge can provide the necessary edge. Top-tier manufacturers like Nightforce, S&B, and Leupold offer custom scopes with features such as 34mm or 36mm tube diameters, 5-10x or 7-25x magnification ranges, and high-quality glass for optimal light transmission.
Optimal Adjustments for 6x47 Lapua
When choosing a scope for the 6x47 Lapua, consider the typical adjustments required for this cartridge. A scope with a 1/4 MOA or 1/8 MOA click value can provide the necessary precision. For example, a 100-yard adjustment for a 6x47 Lapua at 600 yards would require around 17-20 MOA adjustments, assuming a 1/4 MOA click value.
Long-Range Considerations
For long-range shooting, a scope with a high-quality reticle is essential. Consider a reticle with fine lines and a precise aiming point, such as the Nightforce ATAC or the S&B PM II. Additionally, a scope with a high-quality parallax adjustment and a large exit pupil can help to minimize optical aberrations and improve accuracy at long ranges.
