Yeah it is. The reviews I've read are very mixed, but yeah I'll listen to you and give it a miss then I think. Also do you know what power is optimal for 900 meters on a 308?
8-32 power is about right for f class in my mind. In summer when the mirage cranks up you can back your power off if you want. But with 32 you will be fine. There really isnt an optimal. Some used fixed 24 powers, some I have seen with 8-80 power march scopes or 10-50 power sightrons. Its all about repeatability in tracking with f class scopes. Weaver, Sightron, Leupold, Nightforce and March have proven themselves. Other brands have tried but I havent seen any more successfully show that they are up to the constant winding up and down. Even some of the brands I just mentioned I have seen fail. They are all mechanical items and arent made to last forever so buy something new with warranty so in case something stuffs up you can send it off for warranty repair.
I use my sightron 8-32 at 32 about 99% of the time.
can see 6mm bullet holes in the white at 300m, its enough mag to pick where in the x ring you want to aim. Sure i would like a march or nightforce as well, but the sightron gets the job done....
When i started f class a couple of years ago i was told nobody needed 1/8 clicks, i would now say thats wrong, they are preferable. (of course you can aim off a little)
1/8 moa = 20mm at 600 yards and 33 mm at 1000yds.
Cross hairs would cover more than that. I really doubt anybody could pick a group shift of 1/8 moa at those distances. Maybe 300 yds it might be useful to centre a group from a 1/4 moa or less rifle.
For those of us who screw the wind changes, a 1/8 clicker is positively a PITA particularly coaching.
The wind ( and elevation ) knobs on a BR scope are so cluttered up with lines and arrows and numbers it gets very confusing and moreso with only 6 moa per rotation of the knob --recipe for disaster in high winds.
