Robb,
Was wondering about that internal cant level in the SA scopes. It would seem to me that for years we have been trying to keep moisture out of scopes, now SA goes and puts some in. I was just wondering if I am being overly cautious, but it seems that if that little thing ever snapped, there goes your hunt. Have you ever heard of this happening?
Big,
Well here is my opinion on the Mil-Dot controversy. I really think they are a cool feature, BUT most people will not take the time to learn how to use one. Or they "think" they know how to use one. Those little marks are in mil-radians, and there is (maybe was) an interesting article on snipercountry.com about them and how they work. Also the Burris site had some info on them. If you decide to go that route, make sure you practice learning to use them and learn the math that goes with them, or they are money wasted.
Currently I am also thinking about my next scope. I have looked at models from Burris, Leopold, and Weaver. I think I am going to get a Burris with the illuminated reticle, which I think means that mil-dots are automatically disqualified. I dont think you can have both on the same scope, at least not in the Burris line. (I am still researching this)This is because most of my hunting is done at night.
