    What magnification do you use for Unlimited or 10 1/2lb class in benchrest?

    Weaver T36. Its a fixed, 36 power scope with 25mm tube, and target turrets. Nothing overly fancy or complicated. Ultra fine target reticle. The target dot on the reticle can move freely around the ten ring (of the 25 ring) target card and does not block the X at the centre.

    Standard in this type of class would be anything between 32 - 40 power.

    I had a 40x but have recently moved to the Weaver T36, good scope for the money.

    For those who might have a good scope already, with a comparatively high magnification, and who do not want to spend yet more money on a specialist sing-use scope - have a look here -

    www.bulzeyepro.com

    They sell a range of optical doublers that can be fitted [and quickly removed] from just about ANY scope.

    And even the top of the range version costs substantially less than ANY x36 scope, too.

    Anyone have one that can give some feedback? Are they within the rules of BR to be able to use them?

    I bought two of your Optical Boosters in 3x and 4x last year. I used them in IBS 600-yard competition all year. I believe they helped me win the IBS 600-Yard "Shooter of the Year" in 2009. I shot the 3x on my March 10-60 power scopes, switching the 3x booster between my Light Gun (a 17 pound 6mm Dasher pictured here) and my Heavy Gun (a 61 pound 6mm Dasher pictured here). On clear mornings I could turn the power all he way up to 60x on the Marches. With the 3x booster it increased the power to 78x. I could see 6mm bullet holes with no problem. One morning, we had a good laugh, because I could actually see a fly crawling around on my target before the relay started. In July of 2009 I set the IBS 600 Yard Heavy Gun Score Aggregate World Record with your booster on my March 10-60x. I shot a 197 score out of a possible 200. This is the highest score to date in either Heavy or Light class... The boost makes the scopes have just enough boost to make it ideal for 600-yard competition in my opinion, as I like to have at least 40x. One other thing I like about the boosters I have not heard anyone say is: they widen the sight picture when looking in the scope. Some scopes, even some expensive ones, have a sight picture that appears like you are looking through a distant narrow tube. The BulzEyePro booster brings the sight picture closer to your eye. This wide sight picture appears more like a wide field of view spotting scope instead of a view through a narrow tube. The boosters wide sight picture helps me concentrate on the wind flags and mirage far better. Your boosters are an excellent piece of glass and an extremely good product in my book."

    Congratulations, Carl Boswell
    at the 2009 UK Rimfire Nationals!


    Just thought I would drop you a line saying the optical boosters worked a treat. I just won the UK Rimfire Nationals (50-Metre LV Gold, Unlimited 50-Metre Gold, and Aggregate Cup) and got a gold in the air rifle class, too.
    The first photo is of me and Colin Renwick, the national champ overall for air rifle. Colin is the other guy who bought your booster for his Weaver scope."
