[QUOTE="ss7mm, post: 197403, member: 5"] Eaglet: You're gonna love that new scope but one thing you might find when shooting in the field and using the extreme lower hash marks, especially at 22x, is that, although it works and you can do it, it really can make it hard to spot your own shots because the hash mark you're using is in the lower portion of your field of view. I'd done it over the years and it works, but I've also found that, at least for me, I prefer to dial for the first shot and use the hash marks to spot my shot if I'm by myself. Usually at long range the time involved in dialing won't be a problem. Try it and see what you think but at least for my old eyes I prefer to have as much field of view as possible.;);) After you get it mounted and get some time in the field, let me know what you think.:) [/QUOTE]
