I converted the Ascent to the shorter dial and really like the dial sitting closer to the site. It is less vulnerable and will get stuck less often in willows when you are moose and caribou hunting. The stock dial on my 3-year old Ascent had a lot of the anodizing worn away from the brush and even rocks when I sent it in this winter. It still dialed fine without issue, just will be nice to have it set closer to the site now. Good luck!
