I ordered one for my F/TR, it is sitting at the shop waiting for me to pick it up, so they definitely do exist, and the distributors should have them in stock, as I had no problems getting hold of one.

I'm not an experienced FS or FO shooter, will 1/8 be preferable over 1/4?

Aubrey,

Most would agree that only Superman can read the conditions to 1/8 MOA. However, particularly for elevation, if your group is just a tad high or low, a 1/8 MOA adjustment is handy.

Hi there, I have the normal 8-32x56 BR version, and yes the 1/8 adjustment is useful for elevation. Windage is another matter, my previous experience in this being a central sight with 1/3 adjustments which worked reasonably well. Still an amazing scope all the same. I have the Np-R2 reticle with 2 and 5 moa hash marks. The reticle is not busy at all

Some of us aim off, but myself I am a knob twiddler having shot full-bore for thirty years and can not get out of the habit of winding to change, but that is me.
