[QUOTE="LRHWAL, post: 307662, member: 5418"] I'm sure you guys all have a bunch more experience than I do, but some comments none the less. I prefer fairly "stiff" clicks and an option (like NF, not sure if you can get it on the Greybull) to keep the turret covered with a cap. Hunting recently with a friend we made a stalk and set up for a shot, but the animal moved out of line of sight into the valley and we needed to stalk closer. We used the "hoovering" technique quite common here. You sit on your butt and place the rifle in your lap and shuffle on your butt and your palms. Anyhow, the shot couldn't be made and thankfully so, as when we called it off and got ready to move on I noticed that with the rifle in his lap he had managed to dial the scope about 3 MOA. I have seen this to a lesser degree with rifles even slung over the shoulder. Now, I know too much tension means dialling from behind the rifle moves it a bit. I also like the look of the Greybull knobs "knurling" - not too rough, but good enough to grip. The trend in tactical scopes to have very rough grooved turret knobs is not all good IMHO. I of course never shoot with gloves here. Anyhow, just a thought, dust and dialling with things other than your fingers makes me prefer a system with a turret cap. WL [/QUOTE]
