Yeah, that .223 is mine now
When I was shooting smallbore prone, I started with a Weaver T-24 (Crosshair + 1/8th MOA dot) for a while then figured, "The T-36 must be better!"
Boy was I wrong. Harder to see through the mirage, more bounce for the days when my position wasn't the best, more bounce on the days that my position WAS the best, and no difference in my ability to aim where I wanted to. Sold it off, and bought another T-24 which I still have today. None of my scopes go past 24x, and I have no reason to believe they're holding me back in any way.
I'll add my voice to the others who have already said this, too: you don't need the Worlds's Finest Rifle Scope to spot your holes at 100 yards here. 1" tube, and a 40 or 44mm objective is plenty, and saving the weight on glass and metal is worth your while.
Good luck!
thanks my man.. i believe that is what i will to.. find a good 24x Weaver.. i was thinking the leupold but, with only 1/4 moa adjustments.. meh.. i want the 1/8th. but i tell ya.. would be nice if Sightron would do a SIII 24x with 1/10 moa adjustment.. Are you listening Sightron?Yeah, that .223 is mine now
