[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 14198, member: 7"] Ian M... I have been thinking of getting a Burris Black Diamond 8x32 for about 6 months, and haven't found a single person that owned one... until NOW [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] What do you think of it... is it as good (optically, and machanically) as the Nightforces, Nikon 6.5x20 and other GOOD scopes... and would you get it again. Are the turret calibrations easy to read, or as confusing as the B&L 6x24 (HA! none worse!!). On the 1/8th vs 1/4 moa adjustments... remember that most 1" tube scopes have 40 to 45 moa of elevation, so the Nikon 6.5x20 gives up nothing to use the 1/8th adjustments, and I prefer it way over the Leupold 6.5x20 (I have both)... and the Nikon is a better optic. How much total elevation is available, is just one of the optical compromises that scope companies make... you can have 1/8th. 1/4, 1/2, or 1 moa adjustments in a 1" tube... it really depends on how long the erector cell is, where the contact poites are, and the thread pitch... nothing else. The reason the B&L 6x24 only has 26 moa, is that B&L restricted the total travel for enginerring reasons... if the stops were removed, it would have about 40 moa. CatShooter. [/QUOTE]
