Joe its got nothing to do with the optical quality. You are correct in that optical quality will rival many of todays scopes.
If your simply using those scopes for punching holes in paper at close distances you will be ok.
If however you intend using them for hunting for varmits or even long range shooting you will soon see the limitations of those scopes.
#1 will be the very limited field of view in both scopes. You might already know the difficulty in finding the target you intend shooting at.
The t36 weaver is a highly regarded scope by serious bench rest shooters. there are several of them on this site who could offer better information
than i can on this scope. The 9 minit per rev question means the scope has 9 minits or 36 clicks for each time you make a full turn on the dial. That would
depend upon click value however. My answer is assuming 1/4 min clicks. 1/8 min would be double or 72 clicks. That why minits are better than counting clicks.
a minit is always a minit, 1" @100 yds regardless of how many clicks.
On the other hand the exterior micrometer on the lyman is a different animal.
If your scope block spacings are 14. 5" apart center to center you will have 1/8 min adjustments on the dial. If they are half that distance you will have 1/4 min
adjustments. Inything else and you wont know for sure what you have till you shoot and program it.
If all this sounds complicated to you its only because it is. Thats what i meant by my comment about moving on.
Take the cash and run, you will never be sorry.
