[QUOTE="Sid Post, post: 2453989, member: 8907"] [B]First, clip-ons for most people are an overrated waste of time and money.[/B] Clip-ons are really for use with day optics and such for the most part. People that recommend them as a handheld option probably haven't ever really looked through one 'in the field'.
