The magnification dial is way too stiff to be remotely usable in any practical competition so I'll be ordering throw levers from MK Machining along with Race Dials. A brilliant concept. I can see there being 1 or 2 stages a match where they would be extremely handy.
Yeah, that's true. Is only $100 more for more mag and more light coming in. And the 30x is only a few oz heavier too. I wrassle'd with it and just got the 18x. Figured I was still getting enough mag for my Grendel, especially if the glass is as good as everyone says. Anything with longer reach and I would have gone for more mag.
And yes, it's pretty amazing how tight that zoom adjustment is. I installed the Burris 'paddle' throwlever the other day---Set it so the lever is parked at 18x. It does make a huge difference. It's a little stubbier than the MK, but still good enough. Made of aluminum, so zero flex, despite its shape.
