Are you talking about getting sighted in, or more adjustment use in the field? Getting sighted in. The M8 was trickier than the Vx-1. I would never have thought of ever touching it in the field. Once I got it set they stayed good to go but I certainly prefer good repeatable clicks. Weaver, Sightron and Meopta I had were a lot easier for me to deal with.

RGK other than the handle being on the wrong side that looks like my 6mm did for ages.

After having both I can safely say I will never own another friction adjustment scope. Why not? Shod Perhaps I blame the scopes for my tracking inability but I had a Vx1 and M8 and would take the precise clicks of the Weaver over those any day. It seems everyone has ditched the friction adjustments and think there is a reason for that. Bottom line is if I am going to buy a scope it would be a newer one because the recent crop are just that much better overall so no reason for me to have friction adjustments. I love the friction adjustments. They seem to be spot on and I've never had any problem sighting one in.

I have a K6 Weaver on a Tikka t3 lite in .300 wm and on a Remington 700 in .243. and no scope related issues. The .300 kicks a bit ,but the eye relief has not been an issue. I have a 19.5 neck so my head tends to follow my shoulder fairly close behind in recoil!

Problem could have been the nut behind the nut in my case. Is anyone still making scopes without click adjustments?

I'd rather have the Weaver since it is click adjustments, fully multicoated lenses and it is normally found for less money.
