[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 606427, member: 39764"] The only issue with an AO optic (brand notwithstanding) is it is less than ideal in a hunting situation where fast acquisition of the parallax adjustment (via side turret) is desirable. That's not to say that an AO optic isn't good because that's not true. It's the 'adjustment' factor that's cumbersome. I own and have mounted on my 17, a Leupy 6.5-20x50 VX3 AO fine duplex. I realize the 6.5 is a bit heady in the magnification department but I got it for a bargain basement price so it's there. AO works at the range because you have time and can lower the rifle to set the rotating objective to eliminate parallax. That don't work (well) in a hunting situation. I know, been there. Not to say an AO isn't a good choice because it is, just be aware of the limitations of a front adjustment and how that will affect your shot.... [/QUOTE]
