Jack,
I haven't shot centerfire benchrest competetively since 1980, so I'm dated.
But, I've read where guys are taking a regular scope and fitting Unertl type adjustments to the scope to solve the problem. One of the big improvements in centerfire benchrest shooting came with receiver mounted scopes by getting the Unertl type scopes off the barrel, where they did influence accuracy. But, that external adjustment system is about the best system, leaving the internal adjustments out of the equation. Epoxying the internals, and using external adjustments is about the best we have going for benchrest scopes.
I would agree with you on the lack of adequate benchres scopes available today. I gotta think it's a matter of the market not being large enough for a scope maker to address.
Good thread, and close to my heart. I started centerfire benchrest shooting in 1970, prior to the 6mm PPC coming on line. The rifles of choice back then were the 222 Rem and the 6x47. I had both.
Kind of wish I had another 6x47 as it was a winner, back then. The PPC overshadows it today, but I had a love affair with my 6x47, and like that chambering.
