[QUOTE="Jon A, post: 217949, member: 319"] You know, I had written a whole big thing up on SH but it looks like they’ve deleted everything older than 9 months or so. :( Give me a bit and write up some instructions. Though notice the new “correctly numbered” knobs have a slightly changed profile which will make it more of a pain. Well, there’s only two distances listed along with a couple of dots. 100 and ∞. ∞ is right, 100 seems to be off a bit--when I shoot at 100 it looks like the knob is on ~70 or so. I suppose one could re-set the knob with a little screwdriver, but since the knob doesn’t turn very far and it doesn’t have many numbers, it doesn’t matter to me at all. I’ll take a pic. On a knob that turns farther and has a bunch of numbers, it’s more of an annoyance if they’re off. I reset the one on my Falcon because I didn’t like where they put the dot so I made my own dot and reset the knob. It has a bunch of numbers all the way around so it’s nicer if they’re at least close. And of course few would disagree with that, but unfortunately it’s not quite so easy. A comparable USO or S&B will cost twice as much. So that’s not really a fair comparison and it’s simply not an option for many people. Nightforce scopes are great, but they’re very [i]different[/i] as well. If the features above are what you want and what you will enjoy using, you simply can’t get them from Nightforce. So it’s not just a matter of accepting the glass, it’s accepting an entire scope that isn’t what you want. [/QUOTE]
