Well, just remember that it's my opinion, and nothing more.
I would not own a 'friction adjustment' scope under any circumstances, as long as I owned a hammer, or lived near a large body of water....
Over about 50 years of shooting, I've used about every sighting system and every brand of scope. Including a number of friction adjustment scopes, back in the days when they were common.
Well, clearly, I hate the damn things....
But, on a game rifle you might adjust once a year and forget, a friction adjustment scope might do- you'd only have to fight that obsolete system once a year.... "did I move that one Moa, or two?" and back and forth until ya get it right.
On a 223, which I'd guess will be a varmint rig, adjusting for holdover in the field would be a nightmare.
On modern, quality scopes, one click will usually deliver exactly what it says it will, allowing for precise adjustments with no hassle.
