So Mark would you agree that there is a "significant" enough difference between the optics of the standard SCT and the ACF (R/ACF). Its not just promotional hype I mean.

I would certainly be happy to buy a secondhand R/ACF scope if and when one comes up.

I think I already regret saying that this will be my last scope. I'm getting the sense that no one believes me when i say that.

Thanks for your tips by the way

regards

Claude
