[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1565461, member: 10291"] Just wanted to add something I thought might be of interest. For the past couple of seasons I have been using a power ring lever in my high magnification(20-25x) hunting scopes. Using the lower profile lever designs like the NF and March, it’s easy to familiarize yourself with indexing to visually see or feel the power setting. It’s useful for making sure you are unknowingly set too high when the power is not required. Additionally, it leverages the often stiff magnification ring for fast and easy game acquisition, and the reading of mirage for wind determination. I think these attributes that have proven to be valuable in LR PRS shoots, I have found equally useful for LR game hunting. While it may not be for everyone, I’d recommend giving it a try if you encounter these conditions. [/QUOTE]
