Scope choice
Looking for opinion
Looking at Sightron SII 6-24 with a dot and a Weaver 24x with a dot. BOTH 1/8 clicks, I don't mind.
Any pluses to one over the other?
Thanks
Chuck

Re: Scope choice
I have found the Weaver AO to be more to my liking. This next observation has not been proven more scientifically, but it seems that 2 of the 4 SII scopes I've owned didn't adjust as positively between animals.ChuckD wrote:Looking for opinion

Re: Scope choice
I really dislike the AO on the SII line for Sightron, however the SII Big Sky Silhouette scope is excellent for this game. An excellent AO, 1/4 clicks, and about a 7/16MOA dot reticle. I love both of mine. It was discontinued in 2015 so unless you find a deal on the used SII BS, the Weaver is likely your best option.

Re: Scope choice
1/8 minute clicks suck. You will be on your second revolution when you crank up your ram setting. Don't forget to go back to chicken setting when you finish rams.

Re: Scope choice
Not only what Jerry G said about "losing" your chicken zero by going over 1 revolution for Rams. When conditions change during the day most people want 1/4 MOA clicks to make those quick changes. It is easier to keep up with 4 clicks for a MOA than 8 clicks during a bank of targets.

Consider a Leupold FX-3 25x40 scope for Silhoutte. I have one and it works extreme well for this sport.

Second on the Leupold FX-3. I have a 30x40. LOVE IT! Positive, repeatable, 1/4 moa clicks. Amazing glass, and a couple choices for dot size.

Re: Scope choice
I stumbled into a Sightron Sil 6X24 Sil model. It was new old stock, and its on a CZ 455. Now if I could buy a hold
