You won't be dissapointed, they are a great scope, i love mine.
Next time you pass someone with a nightforce, you can shake your head & mutter something like " poor bugger, paid that much for a scope no better than mine". :twisted: just joking fella's

$818 US delivered i think from memory pretty good price considering its suppose to be step behind the BR series. One thing ive read about the dot reticle is the dot is apparently quite large and many target shooters have the reticle adjusted. I like the target dot myself but i this kind of put me off and as i might do the odd bit of spotlighting i thought best not to go with the fine cross hair so went with the mil-dot. Should be here in a week i think!

The dot is twice the size of the target dot, from what I looked at, and thats not a big issue for me as it would be a combo scope anyway, its just a shame its not an illuminated dot for spotlighting. 1/4MOA dot is still pretty small and with 1/4 clicks its not hard to adjust with the same size dot.

Brad,
Go with the 8-32 you can always comeback to 24x but you cant go up to 30x with a 6-24. A straight 24x is also a good option for target shooting but might be annoting at times for hunting.
