[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 567107, member: 34925"] WR you and I must be around the same age--you gave it away with the '60s declaration. Me2. But first came a Weaver 2.5, then a Weaver V1-5; both "clouded up" after a couple of years. Then a 2.75 Redfield; I'd have it today if I didn't have to sell it with its platform, a Winchester 88 (with the real checkering too). So somewhere in the late sixties I got my first Leupold--because the Redfield I wanted was "out of stock." I've never looked back. I'm [I]sold[/I] on Leupolds; I just don't want to be [I]stuck[/I] on Leupolds (or anything for that matter). Leupold is the constant; all others, including NF and USO, are the variables. Now you got me doing more research: IOR, that reticule--M8? I'll have to check back to your commentary. Now, regarding the second question: mil or moa? Someone--you or Scot E--posed a question: "...like 1/4s or 1/10s." The latter seems faster (Physics for me instigate dysentery...), easier to remember, and thus yielding greater consistency. So right now I'm listing toward mil-rads. More thoughts? [/QUOTE]
