[QUOTE="Broz, post: 358032, member: 7503"] Got my 8-32x56 mounted up and took it to the range today. Thought I would report in with my findings. I had no issues at all with eye relief of getting a good full view through the scope. I started at 100 yards , then 300 then 1000. All good. It was 9 degrees when I got to the range at 9:00 am and sun was out bright. I messed around with two rifles and soon it was 11:30 and had warmed to near 30. I was shooting to 1000 by then and mirage or heat waves was not an issue. I should add I did all the shooting on 32x. I used a 30 moa NEAR MFG base and I came out right where it should. zeroed at 300 I am 9.25 moa off bottom and that leaves me 55 moa of elevation. Looks like Nightforce is on the money too with their advertised 65 moa. I like it very well so far. My target at 1008 yards has a 2 1/2" orange dot and I was able to cut it into 4 even pieces while shooting a group. My hopes were that the added magnification would alow me to place bullet more precisely a long distances on both targets and game. I think it is going to help as I shot my best 1000 yard group to date today. I think the 8-32 is worth looking at if you shoot past 1000 yards very often. Jeff gun)gun) [/QUOTE]
