I've been shooting Silhouette for about 20 years. Leupold has been the dominant scope but you see lots of Weaver, Sightron and some old Tasco. I can assure that in this game if a scope isn't repeatable it won't make it. I cannot imagine a scope shifting .5moa and being of any value. In case you aren't familiar with Silhouette I'll describe the course of fire. Chicken at 200M, Pigs at 300M, Turkey at 385M and Rams at 500M. All targets shot offhand 5 shots in 2 1/2 minutes. No support allowed. If your scope doesn't track and hold its adjustments you are dead. Matches are either 40 shots or 60 shots. Doesn't take long to sort out the good from the bad. A .5moa shift at 500M would be a big miss at the rams.
