I didn't contact Stuart about it because it wasn't a big issue for me once I established the actual click values.

I should also mention that the scope is 100% consistent and repeatable so that while the clicks might not be exactly .25 MOA per click they never changed from what they actually were.

Cheers, so how much was the increase? Its not a cheap scope, I'd be talking to Stuart to at least get his thoughts on it.I think he'd like hear about any possible issues direct and have a chance to fix any problems.

I didn't think people disregarded Nightforce scopes so much - Sounds like I'm wrong. I myself use a Nightforce 5.5-22x50 NPR1 scope after upgrading from a Leupold MK4. Yes the glass isn't as good as an S & B or March but I find their eye relief & placement critical in comparison. I think of the Nightforce as a Mac truck - Solid, dependable & will get the job done. Even if I had the extra money to spend I'd be buying another Nightforce simply for this reason.
