"Don’t expect precise repeatable clicks with your elevation and horizontal knobs."

Dogbert41 has a very good point there. Check with users about that before you consider buying any particular optic. I've known people who had cheap optics with fairly good glass and solid mounts but poorly machined (inaccurate or wrong type threads, wrong metals). It's a Midwestern hillbilly thing. ;-)

Also knew at least one young man, long ago, who was a near equivalent of the banjo player in "Deliverance" but with firearms instead of music (phenomenal with old fashioned hardware).

To this day the most impressive shooting I ever actually saw was with iron sights.
I mean I love glass, built telescopes when younger, and shoot,300 Winchester handloads (admittedly badly)so can rhapsodize over what glass I’d buy if I won the Lotto, but watching someone shoot with a 1911 or Henry Big Boy (current object of my lust) is even cooler than shooting at 600 yards with a Barrett (and that’s pretty cool). Good old iron sights rock.
