[QUOTE="Terry Scott, post: 713312, member: 26579"] I read with great interest what you wrote, and agree with you in spirit, I would be nice to have the best of both worlds, and maybe with all the demand for ulta long range, one of the scope mfgs will seize your idea. That said the true sum of the value in a NF is not designed to be the clarity. It's design is for durability, and repeatability. While the glass is excellent, its the time and effort that go into the scope, to make it reliable that is a must have. I shoot just about weekly, I have tried other scopes with turrets, but the only one that has consistently not had any drift is the NF. Leave one of the lesser scopes set in your gunsafe for awhile because you might be playing with other pursuits, then take it out one day and come to the discovery that your expensive calibrated dial for this specific gun is not working beause the scope is not dialing the distance like it should. Drop your rifle by accidentally stumbling while hunting, then wonder if the zero is still ok. None of these problems ever plagues me with the NF. That is why I spend the ever painful price for this scope. I have other optics for spotting game in low light, but have never been in a situation where I couldnt see the target with the NF. Best of luck !! [/QUOTE]
