[QUOTE="Brent, post: 15802, member: 99"] I'd stick with what you have in mind there, the target knobs! This is what I don't like about the 4-12x40 Nikon on my sons Compact, got to use a coin to adjust. Get one with an adjustable objective, parallax will be a problem after 500 yards and it won't take you long to see how well you can do there before you are itchin to go out farther! Have a gunsmith lighten the trigger the right way, reducing the sear engaugement and smoothing it up. I got Brads down to 4 lbs, but it won't go no less and still reset the trigger. Only 6 oz of return psi from the spring right now, the sear adds the rest. Rebedding the thing is probably well worth it. Winchesters half-*** bedding is so soft and slap happily done it ain't funny! I'm doing his this week... finally. I'm really not up on compact scopes, don't really care how long they are myself, just that they have the features I want. I'd go with a one piece base and a 6.5-20 LR-M1 Leupold or a 5.5-22 NF NXS even on the little compact "if" it were me. Sorry, I probably didn't help much in the compact area did I? [/QUOTE]
