I've got setups for limited, tac, and heavy limited, if anyone wants to check it I'm free most Sundays.

before I choose Limited. Any suggestions for a 1x4 scope with an illuminated reticle?

As tstuart mentioned, the Primary Arms 1-6X is pretty good for what we do, and I did like it.  (And yes, that is my PA 1-6X for sale that he linked.  If you buy it, the PEPR mount or the PA mount in 30mm are good ones to get for our game.)

Scope-wise, I personally am partial to the Burris TAC30 (or the newer MTAC) mostly because I love the reticle.  (The PA scope is good, and people who don't like "busy" reticles tend to like it's reticle better.)

For the money (and for people getting started in MG Tactical division) something like the TAC30, the MTAC (both in 1-4X, or you can also get the MTAC in 1.5-6X), or the PA 1-6X is a good  choice.  Perfectly decent for almost all MG, and if you plan to get professional-level, it'll last until you have a better idea of the $1200 scope you plan to buy for that level of things.

You are welcome.  :)

Another vote here for the Burris scopes.  I really like my TAC30.  To be honest, I don't feel like I really give up much speed (if any) on close range targets compared to my SBR with an Eotech.  The Eotech is more forgiving of eye relief and weird head positions, but when I shoot my 1-4 I just stick my nose to the charging handle and I get the same results every time.

Nope.  Back when they (for several different values of "they") used a point-valued scoring system, it was done that way.  However, now that almost everyone uses a time-based scoring system, the "power factor" is simply managed by caliber. 

For Heavy Metal and such, the minimum caliber is .308 Winchester/7.62 x51 NATO, and for everything else it is 5.45mmx39mm --- so people can't run up with a 9mm carbine.  (And if they do, truthfully, given the lack of noticeable recoil in a comped .223 plus the fact that .223s are easier to shoot at distance, the 9mm carbine isn't any advantage.)

So you can shoot Real Man™ caliber rifles in all divisions, but ONLY those rifles in Heavy Metal divisions.

....which everyone should do this year.  HEAVY METAL FOR EVERYONE!
