Rifle Scopes Nightforce 12x42 BR Scope

[jladd]

I just acquired a Nightforce 12x42 BR scope at a really good price (couldn't pass it up) and very pleased with it, clarity, adjustments etc. My only concern with it is the 6 MOA per revolution. I don't shoot that much anymore however the benchrest matches I do attend are shot at various distances from 100 to 500 yards. I shoot centerfire out to the 500 yard mark and rimfires out to 250 yards. My custom Shul rimfire requires 30 MOA to reach 250 and my 223 AR needs 13 MOA for 500. With the NF possessing only 6 MOA per revolution I find myself doing a lot of twisting up, pretty easy for me to lose track of where I'm at (I'm 76 years young).

A year ago I purchased a Sightron 8x32 PLR scope for my Seekins 6.5 CM bolt gun, this scope has 1/4 MOA adjustments and 20 MOA per revolution (I really like his scope). I find it so easy to crank it up to all the distances out to 500 yards (Seekins needs just 10 MOA for 500). I'm thinking of selling the NF 12x42 and purchasing a Sightron 10x50 PLR which also has 1/4 MOA adjustments and 20 MOA per revolution. I'm thinking I could use this scope on different rifles and better suit my shooting needs.

Thoughts appreciated on this, good move? Bad move?
