Good set up, but at alot of matches that would put you in open class.
MY belief (and it might be wrong) is that there is not a good compromise between competition and hunting. Two different objectives.
Search for a used aimpoint and magnifier and then save a little for your hunting optic.
Check out http://www.swfa.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for some other options.

Go to the Brian Enos forum, 3 gun section and search optics
Also do the same at AR15.com Training 3gun


One thing you will learn about three gun: the rules DO vary.
Except for USPSA matchs must clubs and all the major matches use their own set of rules.

Send me a PM with your email and I will send you some copies of rules I have accumulated.

From a match point of view
The answer to your question is a question, where are you going to be shooting your matches?
I mean by that, if your are going to shoot some of the western states 3 gun matches, may not be enough, they shoot out to 500 yd or more at some matches.
If you are going to stay local (TX) that will work just fine. Remember most rules will allow a magnifier + 1x optic as "one optic". Most also require that the weapon stay configured the same way throughout the match, i.e. if you want to use the magnifier it needs to be on the entire match (not necessarily in fron t of the Aimpoint).

Remember the aimpoint is a single dot so you will have to learn and know your holdovers with a single dot. Not hard to do.
Several people shoot this configuration at our monthly match. We only shoot to about 200 yds, so should not be a problem. Other matches in the area (carbine only and 3 gun) will be about the same or less.
The optimum configuration is a 1-4 x variable scope. I use a Meopta 1-4 on a Larue SPRE mount and it meets all my needs, including old eyes.
If you are looking at 1-4 don't forget a Burris (popular with the 3G crowd). Also check AR15.com & Brian Enos for used glass
Any other questions let me know
