I started using them on my range rifles, and have really gotten used to them. I bought a new scope for a hunting rifle this winter and the magnification ring spins so far it’s not possible to use a throw lever without interfering with the bolt handle. I Did not anticipate it being a big deal, but I really find myself missing the throw lever. I love almost everything else about the scope, had a hard time finding the right scope, but if I had it all to do over again I would choose a different scope just for that reason. If it still seems like a big deal after next fall, well, maybe that scope will be for sale!
