    Service Rifle has no weight restrictions.

    Leupold quit building scopes to white oaks specification. They are doing their own scope.

        You may be reading the wrong rule book. There are two, one for HP and one for games.

          Firstly, the ACOG doesn't have the friendliest windage and elevation adjustments. It is designed for use as a combat scope - not as a precision scope where fine adjustments need to be made frequently. Employing hold offs and hold overs is the general technique used with combat scopes. Secondly, the chevron reticle used in the military RCO version of the ACOG isn't conducive to precision shooting. A conventional crosshair reticle is available but so are triangle, donut and horseshoe/dot reticles - none of which are really good for precision shooting. Of course, one can special order an ACOG or get really lucky and find a crosshair reticle scope but they are generally hard to find on the shelf. ACOG's are great combat scopes where the target is an E type target (for training and qualification) or an enemy combatant (for real world applications). They simply are not the best choice when shooting at bullseye targets where a high level of precision is necessary to post a good score. There is a reason that the military teams are using NIghtforce or March scopes and not ACOG's which they have ready access to in the supply system.
