As a side note do you really think you'll need that much magnification for an 308? I don't think you're going to be going much beyond 1000 yards with it. mil discount, you can get it for 50 cheaper than the K624i. For less money you can get a better optic in the Gen 2. For the extra money I don't think the PMII is that much, if any better. You are still looking at spending 3k for an optic that has been through 3 revs in the last 3 years, has a 4x power range and still has considerable CA. The whole end of the Nightforce eyepiece spins when the magnification is adjusted which I don't like much- it also spins the lens cover- it can be adjusted so it doesn't hit the upper when it's spinning but it's a bit weird. The diopter adjustment isn't as easy to set on the Nightforce- this probably doesn't matter much as you set it once and you're done. I do like the fact that the PMII has a small cylinder that pops up out of the top of the turret when you get to the second turn- the Nightforce has a small line that is easy to see but it's not as fast as the PMII. The PMII turrets are much more difficult to adjust- it's easy to go past where you are trying to stop. Designed for applications where the purest optical clarity can mean the difference between a hit or miss this optic sets new standards with incredible resolution, contrast, and over 95 light transmission. I think the glass is very similar in both. Product information 'Kahles K624i 6-24x56' The K624i is the perfect example of innovation and quality derived from over 116 years’ experience building the world’s finest rifle scopes. I have a 5-25 PMII and the 4-16 ATACR so not exactly the same scope (Both have the H59).
