[QUOTE="joseph, post: 602424, member: 19151"] I just looked up the specs on the Hawke Sidewinder 6.5-20x42mm SFP tactical 30mm tube scope. It has MOA adjustments on the turrets and MIL Reticle measurements. It also has no marks to show you how many revolutions you have turned the turrets for long range. You have to remember your adjustments or you have to start counting over. For me this is a hinderence for long range shooting. You also have a shorter distance to your eye when shooting a heavy recoiling rifle also. I have a 6-24x50mm PST FFP MOA with illumination. The glass looks every bit as good as my buddys $1800 Leupold tactical scope. The PST has the turrets and the reticle measurements the same. MIL/MIL or MOA/MOA. Yes the 6-24x50mm PST is almost twice as expensive as the Hawke Sidewinder, but you get twice as much scope for your money. The PST has everything you need for long range hunting and the Hawke Sindwinder DOES NOT. IMHO Here is a 1,000 yd. target I shot with my hunting rifle (not target rifle) with my 6-24x50mm FFP MOA PST. I needed 27 MOA adjustment so I counted 108 clicks and shot 3 five shot groups in competition. Scores & group sizes are in lower right. A perfect score for each group would be 50 points. joseph [/QUOTE]
