How do you find that bolt knob? I’m keen to try one on my tikka but have just brought what’s on the aspire model.
I’ve got the same scope and really like it apart from being chunky.

In fairness I was convinced of FFP scopes by some kiwis and there weren't too many options with reticles I didn't hate. But the rokslide coolaid just sped up what I was already doing. I stepped down from 308 to 7mm08 to 6.5creed to a braked creed to make my kimbers more shootable and each time found killing arguably got better.

Rokslide and @gimp made a pretty good argument for the 223 and i wanted to be able to shoot more for less. I also use to hunt with the AR a fair bit so know the 223 is capable.

I like the bolt knob. It was primarily a weight savings thing. It was easy to make (for someone with CNC access). If your interested North Canty give me a Bell and you welcome to fondle.

I am going to try a GPO super Compact out as the reticle appears to have very similar subtensions and a few extra features but we will see.
