[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 469944, member: 4491"] side focus is quite simply mechanically superior to an AO,front of the scope, type of adjustment. this is what Mr. Thomas of Premier scopes told me. side focus SF has all the parts in the center of the scope where it's supported by the mounts. AO has everything out on the end, where it adds more weight to unsupported areas. this gives the scope more flex under recoil. AO is one of the weak links,that gave Leupolds a bad name and was certainly their achilles heel.they simply won't point straight all the time changing the point of impact. the fix for the older AO models was to glue the AO in one spot.
