I think the new Sightron SIII fixed scope is going to be the next scope for my 300 RUM build. From Sightron's reputation and the specs it sounds like a SS with better coatings.
What I am looking for is opinions on if a fixed 20x will cause too much mirage blurriness on year round shooting, and if a 16x is a better idea?
I know I never run my 12-42 Nightforce at 42x, but I can't tell you I know how far I usually dial down in the summer. I live in MI and the nearest place to shoot 1000 yards is in Northern IN, so it's not like I'm shooting in the desert.
I'd appreciate input from people with 20x fixed scopes on mirage problems.
