In set and forget applications that is less of an issue.

Formi has mentioned this as well. And I believe that Vortex doesn't recommend them for their scopes.


I saw this addressed in a lengthy thread on another forum a few years back. I just go with horizontals to minimize any potential issues, regardless of those who say verticals work for them. The geometry of some of them always seemed a bit strange to me anyway.
